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

<bindings>
    <wsHttpBinding>
        <binding name="wsHttpBinding_ISyncServices" closeTimeout="00:10:00"
            openTimeout="00:10:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00"
            transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
            maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
            <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
                maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647"
                maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
            <reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00"
                enabled="false" />
            <security mode="Message">
                <transport clientCredentialType="Windows"
                    proxyCredentialType="None" realm="">
                    <extendedProtectionPolicy policyEnforcement="Never" />
                </transport>
                <message clientCredentialType="Windows"
                    negotiateServiceCredential="true" algorithmSuite="Default" />
            </security>
        </binding>
    </wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>

I have made MaxReceivedMessageSize to 2147483647 but still it is giving me below exception at this line

 client.GetTableDescription(scopeName, syncTable)

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.

Answer 1

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>

Please also read comments to the accepted answer there, those contain valuable input.

If you are using CustomBinding then you would rather need to make changes in httptransport element. Set it as

 <customBinding>
    <binding ...>
     ...
     <httpsTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"/>
    </binding>
 </customBinding>

Answer 3

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 4

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>
