Correction - you are using Asp.Net - a big difference from Asp

I would like to have Text moving across my screen that says "Example

Well get ready to learn JavaScript and CSS as well!

Visual Basic.Net is used for handling server side events (like when a
user clicks a asp:Button). For client-side functionality you have to
use a client-side script to get the desired behavior. I also mention
CSS because many implementations will probably modify the style
attributes of the element to be scrolled.

Instead of writing a solution for you here I'll send you to google:

Much as it pains me to suggest it, have you tried looking at the Marquee
HTML element?

It's not an official part of the HTML standard, but I think most browsers do
support it. Personally I think it's horrible but it might do what you want
and is very easy to use.
