Answer 1

The WCF Test Client has it's own client config.

Run the test client and scroll to the bottom. If you double click the Config File node you will see the XML representation. As you can see the maxReceivedMessageSize is 65536.

To edit this, Right Click the Config File tree node and select Edit With SvcConfigEditor. When the editor opens expand Bindings and double click the binding that was automatically generated.

You can edit all the properties here, including maxReceivedMessageSize. When you are done click File - Save.

Lastly, when you are back at the WCF Test Client window, click Tools - Options.

NOTE: Uncheck the Always regenerate config when launching services.
