How can I upload a file via ASP.NET MVC and show a progress bar?

Question

I'm looking to allow a user to browse and upload a file to the server in my ASP.NET MVC application.

If it is possible, I'm interested in adding a progress bar to show how much of the file has been uploaded.

Does anyone have any examples of something like this? Should I use jQuery to do this?

The beauty of ASP.NET MVC is that you can choose almost any out of the box upload component out there and use it without any problems.

This plugin for jQuery is a great choice and one that I use in my projects: Uploadify
