What is equivalent to ASP: timer control in ASP.NET MVC?

Question

Recently, I am working on porting an ASP.NET web application to MVC.

I am wondering if there is any ASP equivalent: timer control in the ASP.NET MVC Framework. So that this timer control can automatically check a specific value from the database once every every couple of seconds (we specify).

If there is no equivalent timer control in MVC , are there other ways to implement it.

Rate your answers.
