I am using the autocomplete feature of jQuery. When I try to retrieve the list of more then 17000 records (each won\'t have more than 10 char length), it\'s exceeding the le
(Mine is similar to MFCs answer above with a few small changes)
I wasn't ready to change to Json.NET just yet and in my case the error was occurring during the request. Best approach in my scenario was modifying the actual JsonValueProviderFactory which applies the fix to the global project and can be done by editing the global.cs file as such.
public class JsonValueProviderConfig
{
public static void Config(ValueProviderFactoryCollection factories)
{
var jsonProviderFactory = factories.OfType().Single();
factories.Remove(jsonProviderFactory);
factories.Add(new CustomJsonValueProviderFactory());
}
}
This is basically an exact copy of the default implementation found in System.Web.Mvc but with the addition of a configurable web.config appsetting value aspnet:MaxJsonLength.
public class CustomJsonValueProviderFactory : ValueProviderFactory
{
/// Returns a JSON value-provider object for the specified controller context.
/// A JSON value-provider object for the specified controller context.
/// The controller context.
public override IValueProvider GetValueProvider(ControllerContext controllerContext)
{
if (controllerContext == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("controllerContext");
object deserializedObject = CustomJsonValueProviderFactory.GetDeserializedObject(controllerContext);
if (deserializedObject == null)
return null;
Dictionary strs = new Dictionary(StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
CustomJsonValueProviderFactory.AddToBackingStore(new CustomJsonValueProviderFactory.EntryLimitedDictionary(strs), string.Empty, deserializedObject);
return new DictionaryValueProvider
