WCF 16384 max array length - arrays

Question

Been trying to solve this for a day. I cant seen to find any error with my code, please help. Thank you!
I'm using IIS to host the Service and used add service reference for the client.
I have made sure that I added readerquota and correct binding configuration. Still, the error occur when i'm sending image file with size over 16384kb.

I have figured out the issue, after I updated my server and client to the right values and right binding. My client is still sending default configuration. Also, the configuration.svcinfo file is still in default value and not updated. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Do you change quotas config both server and client side.

Answer 2

First are you sure that you have set your HttpRuntime to be more than 4MB. You can do it as shown below:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1572864"/>
The above element is under system.web element. The .NET framework's http runtime doesnt allow data more than 4MB by default.
Your reader quotas on the server and client are a bit different. Make sure that you have the client reader quotas same as that of the server.
Once you have the above and you still have problems then try enabling Tracing on your service and it should tell you the exact reason why your request is failing. To enable tracing follow the article here

Answer 3

The client should also get a behaviorConfiguration that sets the maxItemsInObjectGraph
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
<dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647"/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
Then.. reference this new behavior on your client endpoint...
<endpoint address="http://youraddresshere"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService"
contract="" name="" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" />
You could also try increasing your maxBytesPerRead="" value in your client and service settings.
