Correct way to consume GitVersion injected version metadata

[joaosantana]

I want to show my app's semver in a TextBlock. For that, I have this method:

private string GetVersionDescription()
    {
        // Semantic version provided by GitVersion
        var appName = "AppDisplayName".GetLocalized();
        var appVersion = GitVersionInformation.SemVer;

        return $"{appName} - {appVersion}";
    }

When I compile, however, I get this error:

The "CompileXaml" task returned false but did not log an error.

What I'm doing wrong and what's the correct way to consume the injected metadata?

Thanks your your time.

Try retrieving the version number with reflection instead, perhaps?
