I have a WCF service in which I'm trying to pull out a certain XML file, and send this file to the client, but I keep getting this error:
The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded. To increase the quota, use the MaxReceivedMessageSize property on the appropriate binding element.
I have changed the maxReceivedMessageSize
in my app.config.
App.config
Endpoint configuration
<services>
<service name="MobileReportService.Service" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/MobileReportService/Service/" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint name="ServiceEndpoint"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
contract="MobileReportService.IService">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
Binding configuration
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding maxBufferPoolSize="5242880" maxBufferSize="5242880"
maxReceivedMessageSize="5242880" />
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
I don't quite understand why the maxReceivedMessageSize
can't be read?
I'm testing the service through the popup that appears whenever I run the service, by pressing "Invoke"
You need to remove the binding name. There is no need to define a binding name unless you are defining more than one basicHttpBinding configuration. If you remove the name the defined settings will apply to all endpoints using the binding type.
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding maxReceivedMessageSize="(big number)" />
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
