Setting Maxrecievedmessagesize from wcf service

Question

Basically i have a wcf service that returns a dataset of 2000 records. When i run the function from an application i get the standard 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."

Now i know how to fix this problem at the client end. What i'm wandering is if there is any options i can set at the server that will automatically cause the MaxReceivedMessageSize property at the client to be increased.

Answer 1

You need to specify the higher limits for MaxReceivedMessageSize both on the client and the server side in order for them to work.

If I remember correctly, any of the settings for MaxReceivedMessageSize, MaxBufferSize etc. will be transferred to the client's default config file when you do a "Add Service Reference" in Visual Studio.
