I'm assuming you mean frames as in an HTML frameset.
That can be done in several ways.
The first and the most widely supported is to specify the Refresh field in the HTTP header. I'm not sure exactly how you'd do this in ASP, but what you're aiming for is to add:

(Toggle Plain Text)

Refreh: n; url=http://www.google.com/

after the Content-Type field. (n is in seconds).
The next way is to use the meta equivalent actually in the page source:

(Toggle Plain Text)

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="n;url=http://www.google.com/">

where n is in seconds, and as the name implies it's equivalent.
You could also us javascript, so:

(Toggle Plain Text)

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function doredirect() {
location.href='http://www.google.com';
}
setTimeout('doredirect();',m);
//-->
</script>

where this time m is in milliseconds (so 1000 = 1 second).
Hope this helps.
