WCF Error - The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded [duplicate]

Answer 1

That would be because you didn't specify on the server which binding to use. Let's take a look at your server config:

Under <bindings> you are creating a binding configuration for <basicHttpBinding>, and you are naming it name="basicHttpBinding". Also, your endpoint name is <endpoint name="basicHttpBinding" ...> and its binding is binding="basicHttpBinding". However, it's not referring to your binding configuration, but to the binding type. So, it's actually using the default settings for basicHttpBinding.

To fix this, first of all name your endpoint and binding configuration differently. For example, <endpoint name="basicEndpoint" ... > and <binding name="myBasicBinding" ... >. Then you need to assign your binding configuration to your endpoint with this attribute: bindingConfiguration="myBasicBinding".

Here's the client config:

<system.web>
    <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="32768"/>
</system.web>

<system.serviceModel>
    <client>
        <endpoint name="basicEndpoint"
            address="http://localhost:9502/HCDataService"
            binding="basicHttpBinding"
            bindingConfiguration="myBasicBinding"
            contract="HC.APP.Common.ServiceContract.IHCServiceContract"
            behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehaviour">
        </endpoint>
    </client>

    <bindings>
        <basicHttpBinding>
            <binding name="myBasicBinding" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
                <readerQuotas maxDepth="128" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="16384" maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
            </binding>
        </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>

    <behaviors>
        <endpointBehaviors>
            <behavior name="ServiceBehaviour">
                <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647"/>
            </behavior>
        </endpointBehaviors>
    </behaviors>    
</system.serviceModel>

Here's the server config:

<system.serviceModel>
    <services>
        <service name="HC.APP.Server.Service.HCDataService" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehaviour">
            <host>
                <baseAddresses>
                    <add baseAddress="http://localhost:9502/HCDataService"/>
                </baseAddresses>
            </host>

            <endpoint name="basicEndpoint"
                address="http://localhost:9502/HCDataService"
                binding="basicHttpBinding"
                bindingConfiguration="myBasicBinding"
                contract="HC.APP.Common.ServiceContract.IHCServiceContract">
            </endpoint>
        </service>
    </services>

    <bindings>
        <basicHttpBinding>
            <binding name="myBasicBinding" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" closeTimeout="01:50:00" openTimeout="01:50:00" sendTimeout="01:50:00" receiveTimeout="01:50:00" >
                <readerQuotas maxDepth="128" maxStringContentLength="8388608" maxArrayLength="16384" maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
            </binding>
        </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>

    <behaviors>
        <serviceBehaviors>
            <behavior name="ServiceBehaviour">
                <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
                <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
                <dataContractSerializer ignoreExtensionDataObject="false" maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483646" />
            </behavior>
        </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>

Don't forget to update service reference on your client to get the correct config.
