How do I increase the amount of data I can pass back from a RIA Service?

I'm new to WCF, RIA Services, and even Silverlight for the most part. I need to know how to increase the amount of data that I can pass back from a RIA service. I know that I need to create summary lists and I am being smart about how I request data. I can't use paging because I've archetected myself into a corner, and it would be way too much refactoring at this point. I just need to double the limit of data coming back. My requests are fairly small. How can I do this, and also why is this window so small?

I'm told that I just have to modify ServiceReferences.ClientConfig but I have no idea where or what that is.

Solution

  • If you're working with RIA services, you can increase limit of transferring data by increasing http request length. Add this to your Web.config:

    < system.web>

        < httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1048576" />

    ...

    < /system.web>

    By default this value is 4Mb
