Maximum Array Length Quota Exception in WCF

Question

I am writing a WCF service to upload files but it throws an exceptions when byte array has more than 16384 elements.

This is the exception detail:

The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the message: Error in deserializing body of request message for operation 'CreateDocument'. The maximum array length quota (16384) has been exceeded while reading XML data. This quota may be increased by changing the MaxArrayLength property on the XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas object used when creating the XML reader. Line 1, position 22862.

The config for both client and server sets the maximum array length quota to 2147483647.

Client Config:

            </service>
        </services>

Answer 1

All I needed to do was to change Service name in web.config file to full service name with namespace:

<service name="SampleNameSpace.DocumentLibraryService">

                <clear />
                <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" name="mex" contract="Peninsula.DocumentLibrary.ServiceLayer.IDocumentLibraryService" />
                <endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding" name="DocumentLibraryService" contract="Peninsula.DocumentLibrary.ServiceLayer.IDocumentLibraryService" address=""
                          bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IDocumentLibraryService"/>
            </service>
