WCF Error because The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded

Question

i make WCF service on server side to return binary (bytes) of file.. i just can return binary of txt file,otherwise it's say "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."

<bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="basicHttp" allowCookies="true"
                 maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" 
                 maxBufferSize="2147483647"
                 maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647"
          transferMode="Buffered"
          messageEncoding="Text"
          textEncoding="utf-8"
          bypassProxyOnLocal="false"
               useDefaultWebProxy="true" >
        <security mode="None" />
            <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" 
                 maxArrayLength="2147483647"
                 maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
        maxBytesPerRead="2147483647"
        maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647"/>
        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>

can you give me solution?

i need your help..thanks before :)

here is client code side (app.config)

<bindings>
  <basicHttpBinding>
    <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" />
    </basicHttpBinding>
  </bindings>
  <client>
    <endpoint address="http://localhost:3724/Service.svc" 
              binding="basicHttpBinding"
              bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService"
              contract="ServiceReference1.IService"
              name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" />
  </client>

this client is desktop application not website

You need to assign the binding you defined to an endpoint you create. Here's an example:

<bindings>
  <basicHttpBinding>
    <binding name="basicHttp" allowCookies="true"
             maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" 
             maxBufferSize="2147483647"
             maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647"
             transferMode="Buffered"
             messageEncoding="Text"
             textEncoding="utf-8"
             bypassProxyOnLocal="false"
             useDefaultWebProxy="true" >
      <security mode="None" />
      <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" 
                    maxArrayLength="2147483647"
                    maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
                    maxBytesPerRead="2147483647"
                    maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647"/>
    </binding>
  </basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
  <serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="">
      <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
      <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
    </behavior>
  </serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services> 
  <service> 
    <endpoint address="/Service.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" 
              bindingCongifuration="basicHttp" 
              contract="service.IService"/> 
  </service> 
</services>

A couple of things to note - in your comment, your service endpoint was using wsHttpBinding, but you defined basicHttpBinding in your <bindings> section. Also, the bindingConfiguration attribute must be the name assigned to the binding defined. My example above is based on the original posted config file.

Alternatively, if you are using .NET 4.0 or later, you can define a binding in the <bindings> setting and set it as the default definition for that binding by omitting the name attribute on the <binding> element.

By default, .NET 4.0+ uses basicHttpBinding for http. You can change this in the config file in the <protocolMapping> section (which is contained in the <system.serviceModel> section). For example, if you wanted to use wsHttpBinding for all http requests, you would do this:

<protocolMapping>
  <add binding="wsHttpBinding" scheme="http" />
</protocolMapping>

Added Client Example

The client side would look very similar, except you'd have a <clients> section instead of a <services> section. Note that some of the settings on the binding apply to the machine (client or server) the application is on, and setting them on one side of the client-server relationship will have no effect on the other side (like maxReceivedMessageSize, for example). Generally the binding type and security have to agree, and in practice it's usually easier to just use the same bindings on both ends, but it is possible to have a scenario where one side would have different buffers or other items.

<bindings>
  <basicHttpBinding>
    <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" allowCookies="true"
             maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" 
             maxBufferSize="2147483647"
             maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647"
             transferMode="Buffered"
             messageEncoding="Text"
             textEncoding="utf-8"
             bypassProxyOnLocal="false"
             useDefaultWebProxy="true" >
      <security mode="None" />
      <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" 
                    maxArrayLength="2147483647"
                    maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
                    maxBytesPerRead="2147483647"
                    maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647"/>
    </binding>
  </basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
  <endpoint address="localhost:3724/Service.svc" 
            binding="basicHttpBinding"
            bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService" 
            contract="ServiceReference1.IService" 
            name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" /> 
</client>
