Warning I'm new to MVC and web stuff in general, I'm a long time C#/WPF programmer.

What I need to do is upload an excel document from the client, do some parsing of the document, show the parsed values in a form and the save all this to a database.  

So I got the basic MVC form with the upload control and it does upload the file to the server.  My question is how do I notify the controller that the upload is complete so I can parse the file and extract the data?  I'm pretty sure that after I extract the data into my model I can create a simple form to display the results in a form and use the submit button to commit the changes to the database.

I've tried getting client side alerts and that is not working either

        $("igUpload1").bind({
            fileUploaded: function(e, args) {
                alert(args.filePath);
