Use the same connection string in two projects

Are you sure you are talking about ASP? Maybe, ASP.NET (which is not ASP)?

You can share the database between several applications if your RDBMS is based on the client-server model, but, as the Web layer is present anyway and the Web application is globally accessible, you should better introduce DAL:
