CultureInfo.InvariantCulture does not exist

Hello all, I'm trying to test some code in X++ to see if we need to go from declaring a de-de CultureInfo to the InvariantCulture in order to preserve a date's integrity.

The line I'm using is

System.Globalization.CultureInfo provider = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;

But I'm getting 4 error messages saying

The qualifier 'System.Globalization.CultureInfo' is not valid for field 'InvariantCulture'.
The qualifier 'System.Globalization' is not valid for field 'CultureInfo'.
The qualifier 'System' is not valid for field 'Globalization'.
'System' is not declared.

Which is strange since there's no issues with having

System.Globalization.CultureInfo provider;

by itself.

I've created a runnable class where this is the only code inside the main method so I don't beleive it's anything blocking it. It works in my C# project but not in the X++ project so I think it has something to do with it being X++ specifically but I can't find anything saying why I can use CultureInfo but not the InvariantCulture part of it.

I've tried on Visual Studios 2022, my project is in .Net Framework 4.7.2 and that framework says it's still being supported.
