send email daily at specific time

I'm trying to send email automatically on 00:00; I've used Quartz.net but there's problem about medium trusted environment (It's shared hosting). I've read this on stackoverflow but didn't get any idea how to do that.

Another I can't create windows service as it's shared hosting.

Is there any other way to do that?

It's not a very good practise, but you can do something like that(for example i'm using MVC 4):

In Global.asax you can try to do next:

public class Global : HttpApplication
{
    void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ...//your current code
        SendEmail();
        SetUpTimer();
    }


    private static System.Threading.Timer _timer;

    private void SetUpTimer()
    {
        TimeSpan timeToGo = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1).Date - DateTime.Now; //timespan for 00:00 tommorrow 

        _timer = new System.Threading.Timer(x => SendEmail(), null, timeToGo, new TimeSpan(1,0,0,0));
    }

    public void SendEmail()
    {
        //check if email was sent today if not send one
    }
}
