FilePathResult Download Progress MVC

Question

I use this method to download a file

public FilePathResult downloadFile(string fileName)
{
    //Download the spreadsheet
    string path = "C:\\Users\\Johandk\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2010\\Projects\\FormValue\\" + fileName + ".xlsx";
    return File(path, "application/vnd.ms-excel", fileName + ".xlsx");
}

Is there any way I can check the download progress or even get notified when the download completes?

Thanks

Do you need to know if the download is complete on the server side or just to notify the client the the file is ready for him? — AMember, Oct 24 '12 at 11:39

well you can remove the java script tag, it has nothing to do with your question. how about tapping to the page_unload event, it get fired when all of the request has been rendered. but it will not let you change anything in the response. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.control.unload(v=vs.100).aspx — AMember, Oct 24 '12 at 11:59

I dont think this is the same thing. The OP wants to know when the download is complete, not when the download is ready to be downloaded – musefan Oct 24 '12 at 11:29
