Script to automatically load a page so it can be cached?

Is it possible to write a server script that will load a page say, once an hour, so it can be cached on the server?

We have an asp.net page that generates a new XML document from a control. This new XML document, is then read into the page, styled and shown to visitors - but it takes too long!

If we could put the code that generates the new XML document on another page (which visitors never see) and have it output to a physical file, this would speed the process up no end. The question then is how we update the file with no user interaction.
