System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException - On Large Message Size

Question

I'm getting this exception on the client application, not sure how to get past this. I encounter this exception when the data returned(A list of prices) exceeds 15MB, but works for message size less that 15MB.

Error Message:

An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to "http://localhost:8782/CMDService". This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

Briefly in behaviors you have serviceBehavior and endpointBehavior. You should write something like this:

<behaviors>
    <endpointBehaviors>
      <behavior>
        <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="10000000"/>
      </behavior>
    </endpointBehaviors>
    <serviceBehaviors>
      <behavior>
        <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647"/>
        <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />            
        <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
      </behavior>
    </serviceBehaviors>
  </behaviors>

Hoping that helps !
