I know, I know - I can't stand frames either. However, "management" has
insisted that one of our intranet sites use frames. The frame will be
extremely simple: There will be a static "header" at the top so that if the
bottom frame page scrolls off the bottom, you'll still be able to still see
the static header at the top. The "body" or lower frame will NEVER interact
with the upper frame, and vice versa. All clients will be the latest
version of Internet Explorer.

Given the facts above, are there any known issues with frames and .NET that
we should be aware of?

Thanks in advance!

nothing that you wouldn't have run into with classic ASP or any other server
based web app.

You have my sympathies.
Could you convince your people that using a usercontrol as top header and a
scrolling <DIV> for bottom section would achieve same effect as frame,
without the ugly side effects?

*** and a scrolling <DIV> for bottom section ***

I like the sound of that. How do you do that? And/or any suggestions on
where I might find an example of that? Thanks!

something like (not exact):

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<your asp.net usercontrol here>
</td>
</tr>
<tr height="100%" valign=top>
<td>
<div style="height: 100%; overflow: auto;">
...
scrolling stuff here
...
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<table>

this doesnt work too well for Netscape but it sounds like thats ok for you
