Question

Iam get an intemittant error when posting to a WCF webservice

The exception message is 'There was an error deserializing the object of type. The maximum   
string content length quota (8192) has been exceeded while reading XML data.

I have tried various different suggestions but with no luck

Can anyone see what iam missing or doing incorrectly ?

thanks

The config file on the client is

I managed to fix this by copying the wshttpbinding from the client and pasting it into the web config file
