WCF Service called from 2.0 app and setting maxReceivedMessageSize

WCF Service called from 2.0 app and setting maxReceivedMessageSize

Hi,

    I need to up the default maxReceivedMessageSize setting in my clients 
calling a wcf service hosted as a web service. This was easily done in the 
3.5 applications we have using the editor. However I cannot find out where to 
make the change to the 2.0 apps that are consuming the site as  a web 
reference instead of a service reference, can anyone tell me where to change 
this setting? 

Thanks,

Bill

RE: WCF Service called from 2.0 app and setting maxReceivedMessageSize

Hi Bill,

From your description, you created a WCF service's client proxy via the 
.NET 2.0 "Add WebReference" approach, and you're wondering how to configure 
the "maxReceivedMessageSize" property for the webservice client proxy 
class, correct?

Based on my research, by default the webservice client proxy class only 
expose an "Timeout" property which can let you specify the max timeout 
period that can let your client proxy waiting for longrun webmethod call.

Also, as for webservice, it normally only care about those http level 
settings such as timeout, authentication, proxy or buffer size. And you can 
override the following method in webservice proxy class to get the 
underlying WebRequest object:

==============
protected override System.Net.WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri uri) {  
 
 WebRequest request = base.GetWebRequest(uri);   
 HttpWebRequest httpRequest = request as HttpWebRequest;  
if (httpRequest != null)
 {  

 httpRequest.ServicePoint.MaxIdleTime = 3000;   
 httpRequest.KeepAlive = false;   

    }  

return request; 
 }
=================

All the available network configuration are on the WebRequest object or its 
"ServicePoint" property.

here are some other web article which describe this also:
