 * I am working on some sites – the clients need the sites to be in a WordPress 
   CMS. There are components of this site that draw information from third party
   database links that are in asp.net
 * Is there I way I can install a iframes into WordPress and embed the asp.net into
   the iframes?
 * An example would be jackyjones.net – if you look at their inventory, it is all
   generated from a database. Could I make an “outer shell” in wordpress, then insert
   an iframe that generates from the .NET?
 * Also, would I have to do this on a Windows Dedicated Server?
 * Thanks,
    Paul

 * You _could_ do this with an iframe, but I wouldn’t recommend it. That’s sloppy
   and some browsers will just kick it out (particularly if people are using ad 
   blocking software).
 * If your client needs to access information from a MS SQL database, you can do
   this directly within PHP. Just make sure you are using the right version! But
   use the mssql_connect() function to connect to the database, then you can pass
   queries natively in PHP and use the data elsewhere in WordPress.
 * There’s more detail about mssql_connect() here: [http://us2.php.net/function.mssql-connect](http://us2.php.net/function.mssql-connect)
