WCF maxReceivedMessageSize not being read from config

Question

I have a the following server side app.config for a WCF service:

Answer 1

If you're still getting this error message while using the WCF Test Client, it's because the client has a separate MaxBufferSize setting.

To correct the issue:

1. Right-Click on the Config File node at the bottom of the tree
2. Select Edit with SvcConfigEditor

A list of editable settings will appear, including MaxBufferSize.

Note: Auto-generated proxy clients also set MaxBufferSize to 65536 by default.
