Turns out what the prof was talkign about was just passing &quot;parameters&quot; from a main() method to some a function via a function call. He used the word &quot;coupling&quot; and &quot;subprograms&quot; to try and make the concept easier to understand and it had nothing to do with the more advanced concepts of loose coupling / data flow. <br />

Man this is a stupid course. You guys are great though. Thank you.

A friend of mine is taking a course in Visual Basic .NET 2008. The course manual constantly refers to &quot;subprograms&quot; and has exercises which reference &quot;programs&quot; and &quot;subprograms&quot;.<br />
<br />
In particular, this one TRUE/FALSE question:<br />
<br />
&quot;Coupling between a subprogram and the program that calls it may be through arguments, global variables, and/or control objects.&quot;<br />
<br />
Doesn't seem to really make sense. Can anybody explain what is meant by &quot;coupling between a subprogram and the program&quot;?

In VB.NET 2008, what is &quot;coupling between a subprogram and the program&quot;

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
