CheckinEvent : SoapException when larger changesets are handled.

Question

Hi,

I have created a wcf service 

  public interface INotification
  {
    [OperationContract(Action = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/TeamFoundation/2005/06/Services/Notification/03/Notify", ReplyAction = "*")]
    [TransactionFlow(TransactionFlowOption.NotAllowed)]
    [ServiceKnownType(typeof(SubscriptionInfo))]
    [XmlSerializerFormat(Style = OperationFormatStyle.Document)]
    void Notify(String eventXml, String tfsIdentityXml, SubscriptionInfo subscriptionInfo);
  }


  public class Notification : INotification
  {
    // [XmlSerializerFormat(Style = OperationFormatStyle.Document)]
    void INotification.Notify(String eventXml, String tfsIdentityXml, SubscriptionInfo subscriptionInfo)
    {
       ...

which is triggered when someone check in a limited number of files.

however when someone check in say 15 files I recieve the following error:

TF53010: The following error has occurred in a Team Foundation component or extension:

Some additional info App.config content :

    <services>
      <service behaviorConfiguration="NotificationServiceBehavior" name = "Fls.Tfs.Notification">
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress ="http://localhost/Fls.Tfs.Notification/"/>
          </baseAddresses>
        </host>
        <endpoint
             address  = "CheckinEvent"
             binding  = "basicHttpBinding"
             contract = "Fls.Tfs.INotification"
         />
      </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="NotificationServiceBehavior">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
        </behavior>

    </behaviors>
    <bindings>

Answer 2

After a little modification I received another error indicating that maxStringContentLength with its default length of 8195 was too small.

Setting a higher value for maxStringContentLength solved the problem.
