I'm curious if it is possible to schedule my page, let's call it, Test.ashx to run, say at 2 am every day on IIS, using ASP.NET? (Pretty much what Cron Job does for PHP/Linux system.)
PS1. I need this page to perform a custom operation on the SQL Database table. (Note that I don't have direct access to IIS, or SQL Server itself. I'm writing a web app that needs to incorporate this functionality for a client.)
PS2. I program using C# if that matters.
There is always more than one way to achieve a thing. To perform a custom operation on SQL Database table on a periodic basis, you can schedule a SQL job. Look at this SO answer for more details

Update:
Check this link to know how background schedulers can be done in ASP.NET http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2008/07/easy-background-tasks-in-aspnet/
Another way to achieve is to use Windows Task Scheduler to invoke the .ashx periodically
