Type: array<System::String>A one-dimensional string array with 13 elements that contains the culture-specific abbreviated names of the months. For 12-month calendars, the 13th element of the array is an empty string.

| ArgumentException | The property is being set to an array that is multidimensional or that has a length that is not exactly 13. |
| InvalidOperationException | The property is being set and the DateTimeFormatInfo object is read-only. |
If you set this property, the array must be one-dimensional with exactly 13 elements. Calendar objects accommodate calendars with 13 months.
If you set the AbbreviatedMonthNames property, you must also set the AbbreviatedMonthGenitiveNames property.
The AbbreviatedMonthNames and AbbreviatedMonthGenitiveNames properties are used to format dates using the following format strings:
A standard date and time format string that aliases a custom format string that includes the "MMM" format specifier.
A custom date and time format string that includes the "MMM" format specifier.
This property is affected if the value of the Calendar property changes. If the selected Calendar does not support abbreviated month names, the array contains the full month names.
