Assembly is a collection of dll, exe, html, the assembly manifest which is a collection of metadata i.e. data about data that describes name of the assembly, culture setting, versioning, security and other resources.

Assemblies are mainly used to solve the problem of versioning, DLL conflicts and
simplifying the process of deployment. 

Assembly can have two types of version the first one which we call version on the format of the version is  major.minor.built.revised for example version no of 3.5.20.1 in this 3 shows major,5 shows minor,20 shows built and 1 shows revised. Version no is stored in assembly manifest.
