Windows Services are another application type in .NET. You can't make
reliable and predictable timer system using ASP.NET.

Either you can use Windows Services to do it (they run at background all the
time and therefore are capable to user timer mechanisms), or you can put
timed jobs into database (SQL Server) and use it's email mechanism (can't
recall the procedure name at the moment)

You'll see more about Windows Services here:

you can't automate this, something needs to trigger/call the system to fire
off a process. HTTP is a request/response system.
