VS.Net Get Version not working with .NET Core projects

[dgh]

There's not much I can get wrong with configuring this function but it doesn't seem to work for DotNetCore C# projects. Version numbers are included in .csproj file.

I've referenced a .net6.0 dll project but none of the temporary macros are set with values even though the build output :

11/10/2023 3:18:19 PM: Building project step 3 - VS.NET Get Version...
Project file T:\MyProjects\blah\blah\blah.csproj
File version =
11/10/2023 3:18:19 PM: Build successfully completed (elapsed = 00:00:00).

I'm using VBP 10.9.
