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.

Question

This is my first WCF service. The error that I got on client side was

The remote server returned an unexpected response: (400) Bad Request.

So I enabled the tracing and this is my 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.

 

Here are my config files:-

Answer 1

I think you have a problem with the way you declared the service's configuration (the service's name attribute).

Answer 2

That didnot help.

my srevice name is fine. I donot have any namespaces.

Answer 3

I suspect your service is not using its configuration, please try the following:

1. change the binding from basicHttpBinding to wsHttpBinding

2. create a client application (console) and add a service reference to the service

3. validate that the generated app.config includes a client endpoint that uses wsHttpBinding

 

If my assumption is correct the endpoint will still use basicHttpBinding
