Is there any free web based cron that can do scheduled jobs ....

http://www.mywebcron.com/

but why would you want a web based cron over a standard crontab?

You can do (for free, unless your load's very heavy) periodic cron-like "sending of mails" with Google's App Engine, with Java or Python -- but I don't know of a free service that will let you do that with asp.net (or other .NET code).

Here's an couple of old articles on how to implement a cron job with ASP.NET: Simulate a Windows Service using ASP.NET to run scheduled jobs and Scheduled ASP.NET Task (ASP.NET Cron Jobs).

You basically just add something to the cache, and when the item expire you can use that event to trigger your code. Simple.
