Timers with ASP.Net

[Alfageek]

Can you use System.Timers.Timer components in ASP.Net apps? I initialize my timer as:
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()
Dim aTimer As System.Timers.Timer
aTimer = New System.Timers.Timer

AddHandler aTimer.Elapsed, AddressOf OnTimer

aTimer.Interval = 1000
aTimer.Enabled = True
aTimer.Start()

End Sub

And have an event handler:

Public Sub OnTimer(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As ElapsedEventArgs)
Dim sTest As String = "This is a test message ... "
Dim txtTemp As String = ""
Dim iNumber As Integer = CType(txtTSNumber.Text, Integer)
txtTemp = sTest.Substring(iNumber)
txtTemp = txtTemp & Space(10)
txtTemp = txtTemp & sTest.Substring(0, sTest.Length - iNumber)
txtTemp = txtTemp.Substring(0, 50)
txtTSNumber.Text = CType(iNumber + 1, String)
If iNumber > 50 Then
txtTSNumber.Text = "0"
End If
End Sub

But nothing seems to happen. Any suggestions?

I don't think you can use the timer class in asp.net app.

I vaguely remember I had to do similar thing w/ timer in an ASP.net app but failed.
