        removeUrl: 'https://services.syncfusion.com/js/production/api/FileUploader/Remove'
    },
    uploading: onFileUpload

});
uploadObj.appendTo('#fileupload');

function onFileUpload(args: any) {
    // add addition data as key-value pair.
    args.customFormData = [{'name': 'Syncfusion INC'}];
