I\'m working on a ASP.NET MVC3 web application (not written by me) which has a max upload size of 100MB. Now this web application gets installed on server machines for customers

You can do something like:

int maxRequestLength = 0;
HttpRuntimeSection section =
ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.web/httpRuntime") as HttpRuntimeSection;
if (section != null) 
    maxRequestLength = section.MaxRequestLength;
