| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | An attempt was made to set the property to nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |

Remarks
When this property is set, the array must be one-dimensional and must have exactly 13 elements. Calendar objects accommodate calendars with 13 months.
If a custom date and time format string includes the "MMMM" format specifier, DateTime.ToString returns the appropriate element from the MonthNames property array in place of "MMMM" in the custom format string.
This property is affected if the value of the Calendar property changes.
