I am using WCF for file uploading and downloading. uploading is successful but when i downloading a large file i found this error

> 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.

My Service.config file has the following code.


<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" />
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="4800" maxRequestLength="2147483647" />


</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="524288">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
<!--<webHttpBinding>
<binding maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" />
</webHttpBinding>-->
</bindings>
<services>
<service name="WITSService.WITSService">
<clear />
<endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="WITSService.WITSService" />
</service>
</services>

<behaviors>

can any one help me how to increase MaxReceivedMessageSize

You need to set [basicHttpBinding -> MaxReceivedMessageSize](

) in the client configuration.

Change the customBinding in the web.config to use larger defaults. I picked 2MB as it is a reasonable size. Of course setting it to 2GB (as your code suggests) will work but it does leave you more vulnerable to attacks. Pick a size that is larger than your largest request but isn't overly large.

Check this : [Using Large Message Requests in Silverlight with WCF][1]

<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="TestLargeWCF.Web.MyServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="customBinding0">
<binaryMessageEncoding />
<!-- Start change -->
<httpTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="2097152"
maxBufferSize="2097152"
maxBufferPoolSize="2097152"/>
<!-- Stop change -->
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="Web.MyServiceBehavior" name="TestLargeWCF.Web.MyService">
<endpoint address=""

bindingConfiguration="customBinding0"

<endpoint address="mex"
