Grammar

Associated with / bound to

The lines below are kind of specialized terms but could you tell me?

The object A is associated with the object B.

The object A is bound to the object B.

Do they mean about the same in general?

Thanks

Hi, As you say, these are specialized terms. If you say either of these to a non-computer person, they will not really understand what you mean. If the 'rules' of the computer language say that you can use both these terms, they are OK technically.

I agree!
Actually I'm not really a expert of this kind but need to translate documents written in Japanese into English (it's fun). As far as I see on microsoft.com, these two terms have little diffrence.

THanks so much, Clive
