I need to create some functionality in the Umbraco back office, to allow an administrator to upload a list of member details from a CSV file and the system takes that list and creates each as a member in Umbraco. The list of members will be in 100, maybe 200 at a time and no more.
In the past I would do this using a webform page, where the administrator can upload the file, and I would make this page and form available from the dashboard of the members section.
I wanted to double-check though if I can do this using views and controllers yet, rather than a webform?
The umbraco instance I'm using is v6.0.5. The front end of the site is built with surface controllers and forms but can I use these in the back office?
Ali's suggestion was what I was after, but due to the deadline I'm up against, I'll have to look at this later. Possibly when I upgrade the site to Umbraco 7. Right now, I'll soldier on with good old web form user controls.
Is it possible to use views and controllers in the back office?

Hi Ian,
this is a great blog post from Tim and I guess that's what you are looking for.

Thanks Ali, I'll take a look at Tim's post tomorrow. It looks like it might be just what I need!
