catch (QuotaExceededException ex) and get something useful?

Question

The only message it pushes back to me is:

{"The size necessary to buffer the XML content exceeded the buffer quota."}
System.ServiceModel.QuotaExceededException

Do I need more room in my transport? Like increase either the maxBufferPoolSize or maxReceiveMessageSize ?

<httpTransport manualAddressing="false" maxBufferPoolSize="500000"
  maxReceivedMessageSize="500000" allowCookies="false" 
  authenticationScheme="Anonymous" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" 
  hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" keepAliveEnabled="true" 
  maxBufferSize="500000" proxyAuthenticationScheme="Anonymous"
  realm="" transferMode="Buffered" unsafeConnectionNtlmAuthentication="false"
  useDefaultWebProxy="true" />

TIA.

Ah - I see you've already upped the values of those There's also maxBufferPoolSize and maxReceiveMessageSize which ought to be increased, and then there's the whole plethora of the <ReaderQuotas> which also sometimes come into play (as a subnode of the <httpBinding>).

<wsHttpBinding .......>
    <readerQuotas
            maxDepth="32"
            maxStringContentLength="8192"
            maxArrayLength="16384"
            maxBytesPerRead="4096"
            maxNameTableCharCount="16384"/>
</wsHttpBinding>

Those are the default values - try increasing the maxArrayLength and maxStringContentLength first.

Also, remember to set those new values both on the client and the server side!
