Short answer... Yes.

Databases are meant to be shared by many different applications as well as many different types of applications.

For VB.net and ASP.NET (in the code behind), you can use the same code to access the database...

Using _conn as New SqlConnection(connectionString)
  'Do Stuff'
End Using

For databases to use for free, you can get MS SQL Express edition, Oracle XE, MySql, and a few others.

If you write your data access layer (DAL) as a web service (or WCF application) then both your ASP.NET site and Winforms app can call the DAL and have access to the same data in the same database.
