I think you need to make use of the ImportFileStateInfo or ImportStateInfo message for you validation action. I hope it helps you!

Could you be a bit more descriptive in what you are trying to achieve?
Do you want to use import data from an excel in your plugin? And when/where do you want to trigger this then?- Edited by Joey VDB Thursday, November 5, 2009 10:33 AM language

Normally you would use the data import tool in "Settings > Data Management > Imports > New"
If you are going to create your own tool, it wouldn't typically be a plugin, but instead an application that utilizes the crm web service api.
A plugin is used for trapping an event in CRM and doing something else (whether that be something within CRM or external to CRM).- Proposed as answer by Carlton ColterMicrosoft employee Thursday, November 5, 2009 11:20 AM
