Gets or sets a one-dimensional string array that contains the culture-specific abbreviated names of the months.
Syntax
Value
A one-dimensional array of type string containing the abbreviated names of the months. For cultures with 12-month calendars the 13th element of the array is an empty string.
Exceptions
Type Reason ArgumentNullException The value specified for a set operation is a null reference. ArgumentException The value specified for a set operation is not an array with exactly 13 elements. InvalidOperationException The current instance is read-only and a set operation was attempted.
Remarks
If you set this property, the array must be one-dimensional with exactly 13 elements. System.Globalization.Calendar objects accommodate calendars with 13 months.
If you set the DateTimeFormatInfo.AbbreviatedMonthNames property, you must also set the DateTimeFormatInfo.AbbreviatedMonthGenitiveNames property. The DateTimeFormatInfo.AbbreviatedMonthNames and DateTimeFormatInfo.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 DateTimeFormatInfo.Calendar property changes. If the selected DateTimeFormatInfo.Calendar does not support abbreviated month names, the array contains the full month names.
