Question

I have a WCF service that returns a structure containing a couple of int arrays that all combined would not exceed 2500 values. When I go to test this service I get the error below:

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.

which I think should not come up in the first place. Am I missing something here?
Maybe it helps you to know I am executing this service from a WCF library.

The place where you need to work on is the web config, you need to add service behaviours where you can set the size of data. For example like this,

   <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="SilverlightWCFLargeDataApplication">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
          <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647"/>
        </behavior>

      </serviceBehaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="SilverlightWCFLargeDataApplication">
          <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647"/>
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>
    </behaviors>

if that does not work, post your web config here.Hope it helps.
