and Here's the Exception I get on my Windows Phone 7 client

For TransferMode.Buffered, MaxReceivedMessageSize and MaxBufferSize must be the same value. Parameter name: bindingElement

I've even tried setting the TransferMode="Streamed" but this didnot help, I get the same exception. Could you please help me out. Am I missing the parts of the Web.config file?

Please help!

Answer 1

I encountered the same issue. I don't know whether this is a bug in the WP7 Silverlight runtime, however it worked properly if the binding was rather defined in code instead of the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig. Something like this:

var client = new MyServiceClient(
    new BasicHttpBinding( BasicHttpSecurityMode.None )
    {
        MaxReceivedMessageSize = 2147483647,
        MaxBufferSize = 2147483647
    },
    new EndpointAddress( yourAddress ) );

I couldn't figure out the reason for this yet.
