I usually just put a dummy string in my "About" form (filled with enough blanks) and update this form string at run time from the version number of my source code. Why? Because I modify my source code far more often than my resource files; and this method allows me to create a new build which includes an updated "About" version string with one less step. IMHO. YMMV.
