In WinForms I have an AssemblVersion 

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("01.01.01.002")]

However when the splash screen comes up it completely ignores the zeros showing:

1.1.1.2

as the version which is very inconvenient since later I will actually want to have an assembly version

 [assembly: AssemblyVersion("01.01.01.200")]

Is there a way to avoid this or do I Have to add some number at the beginning of last part of the version like so:

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("01.01.01.102")]

    The parts of the assembly version are converted to integers at some point (and then presumably back to a string): it's not possible to have leading zeros in the AssemblyVersion. *But*, it should be possible to add a different attribute with your exact string .. –  Mar 29 '13 at 00:38

The AssemblyVersion attribute stores it's information as a Version object. The components of the Version struct are integers, and are treated as such. So 1.2.3.4 == 1.02.003.004 but 1.2.3.4 != 1.2.3.400

You can use the AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute to provide aditional, arbitrarily formatted information about your product, as it's information is stored as a string, rather than a Version. So you can do:

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.1.1.102")]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("v.01 alpha")]

Or whatever you like
