Can anybody guide me on WCF configuration, I was getting errors (400) Bad Request and trace viewer told me that:
"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."
I've looked to my client's app.config and changed properties accordingly, but the problem remained, then I've looked to server's web.config where I've found there is no <service>...</service> tag at all, so I've right-clicked web.config and selected Edit WCF configuration a window pop-upped several clicks and my wcf service configuration is ready BUT it started throwing
"The server did not provide a meaningful reply; this might be caused by a contract mismatch, a premature session shutdown or an internal server error"
Trace viewer shows 3 warnings:
"Failed to open System.ServiceModel.ServiceHost"
"Faulted System.ServiceModel.ServiceHost"
"ServiceHost faulted"
Here are my server web.configs:
Version 0 (working but with limitations):
