Question

I wrote a WCF service that returns a string[][][][][] (necessary for legacy reasons).

Then I noticed an important fact:
if the service manipulates N objects the answer is returned immediately (in localhost) but if it tries to manipulate N+1 objects a timeout occurs (I set it to 30sec).

The problem occurs if the string[20][20][20][5][20] becomes a string[20][20][20][6][20].

Why it takes so much if I add 1 object?
The code of the service is not useful so I’ll not include it.

Thanks,

Alberto

Answer 1

The problem was the maxReceivedMessageSize, a parameter that indicates the higher amount of message exchanged.

Setting it to 6291456 the service worked well.
