Send and receive large data with WCF

Question

I've implemented a web services that saves and loads text data and image (byte array) into a SQL Server. For to send data, I'm modified the web.config because i received an error for data too big!!!

This is the modify of my web.config:

  <services>
            <service name="myWs_service.Service1">
                <endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttp_LargeObject" contract="myWs_service.Ib2bService" />
            </service>
        </services>
        <bindings>
            <basicHttpBinding>
                <binding name="BasicHttp_LargeObject" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
                    <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
                    <security mode="None"/>
                </binding>
                </basicHttpBinding>
        </bindings>

...and also this:

<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5"  maxRequestLength="409600" executionTimeout="900"/>

So now I can send all desidered data to the web service, but when I try to retrieve data, I get an error on the MaxReceivedMessageSize configuration!?!?!

Why I can send from client to server and I can't receive from server to client with this configuration?

I will appreciate all suggestions....

EDIT

For greater clarity: The real client app is a Windows App Store app than actually works good when I need to post data. For now I'm testing the app with the console for debug mode: enter image description here

and the error message (sorry is in italian) that I retrieve is:

È stata superata la quota massima delle dimensioni per i messaggi in ingresso (65536). Per aumentare la quota, utilizzare la proprietà MaxReceivedMessageSize nell'elemento associazione appropriato.

what's the actual error message? the error is related to a problem on the wcf or on the client side? did you check the settings on the client also? be aware that limits apply to the client as well; you have to configure the client side to allow for the transfer of the required amount of data. — Paolo, Jul 02 '15 at 12:39

Adjust your binding on the client and server side.

Below is one I found for named-pipes. maxReceivedMessageSize and also see this question:

maxReceivedMessageSize and maxBufferSize in app.config

Client example:

  <netNamedPipeBinding>
    <binding name="NamedPipeBindingName1"
                 hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
                 maxBufferSize="9000000"
                 maxConnections="10"
                 maxReceivedMessageSize="9000000"
                 receiveTimeout="00:30:00"
                 transactionFlow="false">
      <security mode="Transport">
      </security>
    </binding>
  </netNamedPipeBinding>

Server side (roughly the same thing)

  <netNamedPipeBinding>
    <binding name="NamedPipeBindingName1"
                 hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
                 maxBufferSize="9000000"
                 maxConnections="500"
                 maxReceivedMessageSize="9000000"
                 receiveTimeout="00:20:00"
                 transactionFlow="false">
      <security mode="Transport">
      </security>
    </binding>
  </netNamedPipeBinding>
