Since ASP.NET code only runs when an incomming request is made from a browser, its a very poor candidate to send reminders based on a certain time.

The solution is to create a Windows Service that has access to the data your apps reminder data saved in a file or database (you ARE saving this data somewhere, correct?). Once every minute, this service can search the data and find all the reminders that are scheduled for that time, send them out and go back to sleep. You can use a Timer for this in a service.
