One possible way of doing this to use WebClient. You can send the details to your asp.net application using webclient with all the information you want.

The WebClient class provides common methods for sending data to or receiving data from any local, intranet, or Internet resource identified by a URI. The WebClient class uses the WebRequest class to provide access to resources. WebClient instances can access data with any WebRequest descendant registered with the WebRequest.RegisterPrefix method.

Alternatively, you can also write all the information to some common database table, and let the windows service write to it and asp.net application read from there.
