I have faced the same issue in my project and solved the issue by adding the line of code in webconfig

<system.web.extensions>
    <scripting>
      <webServices>
        <jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="5000000">
          <converters>
          </converters>
        </jsonSerialization>
      </webServices>
    </scripting>
  </system.web.extensions>

The default value for maxJsonLength is 102400. For more details, see this MSDN page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb763183.aspx

You can set the JSON maxJsonLengthin web config 

<configuration> 
   <system.web.extensions>
       <scripting>
           <webServices>
               <jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="50000000"/>
           </webServices>
       </scripting>
   </system.web.extensions>
</configuration>
