The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded

Question

I get this exception while creating scope for few tables all those tables are huge in design

Answer 1

For me, the settings in web.config / app.config were ignored. I ended up creating my binding manually, which solved the issue for me:

var httpBinding = new BasicHttpBinding()
{
    MaxBufferPoolSize = Int32.MaxValue,
    MaxBufferSize = Int32.MaxValue,
    MaxReceivedMessageSize = Int32.MaxValue,
    ReaderQuotas = new XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas()
    {
        MaxArrayLength = 200000000,
        MaxDepth = 32,
        MaxStringContentLength = 200000000
    }
};

Answer 2

You also need to increase maxBufferSize. Also note that you might need to increase the readerQuotas.

Answer 3

You need to make the changes in the binding configuration (in the app.config file) on the SERVER and the CLIENT, or it will not take effect.

<system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
        <basicHttpBinding>
            <binding maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647 " max...=... />
        </basicHttpBinding>
       </bindings>
</system.serviceModel>

Answer 4

As per this question's answer

You will want something like this:

<bindings>
     <basicHttpBinding>
         <binding name="basicHttp" allowCookies="true"
 maxReceivedMessageSize="20000000"
 maxBufferSize="20000000"
 maxBufferPoolSize="20000000">
             <readerQuotas maxDepth="32"
 maxArrayLength="200000000"
 maxStringContentLength="200000000"/>
         </binding>
     </basicHttpBinding> </bindings>

Answer 5

Updating the config didn't work for me, but I was able to edit the binding programmatically:

private YourAPIClient GetClient()
{
    Uri baseAddress = new Uri(APIURL);

    var binding = new BasicHttpBinding();
    binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 20000000;
    binding.MaxBufferSize = 20000000;
    binding.MaxBufferPoolSize = 20000000;
    binding.AllowCookies = true;

    var readerQuotas = new XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas();
    readerQuotas.MaxArrayLength = 20000000;
    readerQuotas.MaxStringContentLength = 20000000;
    readerQuotas.MaxDepth = 32;
    binding.ReaderQuotas = readerQuotas;

    if (baseAddress.Scheme.ToLower() == "https")
        binding.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport;

    var client = new YourAPIClient(binding, new EndpointAddress(baseAddress));
    return client;
}

Answer 6

This worked for me:

 Dim binding As New WebHttpBinding(WebHttpSecurityMode.Transport)
 binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None
 binding.MaxBufferSize = Integer.MaxValue
 binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = Integer.MaxValue
 binding.MaxBufferPoolSize = Integer.MaxValue
