This is my Web.config file. I got the error in WCF while running the test client. I added the binding configuration also, but it still throwing the same 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.).

I am already setting the MaxReceivedMessageSize property in my web.config to a large value , I also used the above config to set the binding in the code of the client itself as well as the service but no change.

Is the binding correct? Do I need to add something else or I need to remove something. I am confused.

Note: I am testing the service from WCF Test client.

Answer 1

I found the answer. Actually the WCF Test Client has its own configuration. I changed the config file. Now working like a charm. :)

Thanks
