WCF binding setting - maxRetryCount="Integer"

Question

I am trying to set the binding setting maxRetryCount="Integer" but it states "The maxRetryCount attribute is not allowed".

I see it being referenced/used in many examples.

What am I doing wrong?

Want to set this attribute(setting)to see if it stops an error I am getting: The maximum retry count has been exceeded with no response from the remote endpoint. The reliable session was faulted. This is often an indication that the remote endpoint is no longer available.

See this answer. To paraphrase, you can't set the maxRetryCount on wsHttpBinding but you can do some custom binding trickery to make it work.

Thanks...I tried that but still get message. It appears to be a volume issue. With low volume being passed back to the client, it works fine - even before adding the maxRetryCount and now also after adding the maxRetryCount. With large voume, that is when I get that message. – user3020047 Jun 18 '15 at 14:33
