I don't use frames, but I do not see why not. I have more than one asp.net app using data from different databases, and from different servers for each database. We have a very large network. I have the app's data (RW) and I also have to access read-only corporate data for lookups and reports. The apps are 3-Tier (logical and physical 3-Tier). Each section of the screen, be it a GridView or an HTML Table built programmatically, gets the data from the Data Access Layer. Each DAL method (called by a web service) establishes the connection to the proper database (defined in web.config) and runs the stored procedure or query. No problem ;(we do not mix the two databases on the DataSet, just different sets for different regions of the page).
