ASMX web service reference how to set equivalent to MaxReceivedMessageSize

Question

Web Service is an ASMX web service (NOT WCF)

I am receiving an 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 using a proxy that Visual Studio generates for you when you add a "Web Reference" (please note that I am NOT adding "Service Reference", instead I am using Web Reference)... this creates a proxy that inherits from SoapHttpClientProtocol

Can anyone help me figure out how to set the equivalent to MaxReceivedMessageSize for this method? (I am asking for the equivalent of doing HttpBinding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = Int32.MaxValue if I were using WCF)

Answer 1

The MaxReceivedMessageSize change can be done in the App.config file or in the source code before calling the service's method.

 BasicHttpBinding httpBinding = youAddWebServiceName.ChannelFactory.Endpoint.Binding as BasicHttpBinding;
 httpBinding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = int.MaxValue;
