I'm getting message like this: 

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.

I checked on net, not able to find the portion to chage in configuration file here (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE). The file name and content is WcfTestClient.exe.config

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
 <configuration>
 <runtime>
   <DisableMSIPeek enabled="true"/>
 </runtime>
</configuration>

How can I change this to get it work. Please note that, My WCF application is working fine, when I have less output character and this WCF Test client is given by .Net framework.I found this: http://tzonsoftware.blogspot.in/2009/07/changing-wcf-test-client-configuration.html. But, what would be the max size I can keep? Please help.

  • Right-click the service in the test client and click Configure... – CodeCaster Jul 28 '15 at 12:24

    The max size is 2147483647, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19564047/wcf-the-maximum-message-size-quota-for-incoming-messages-65536-has-been-exceed but I suggest you also try to figure out what a sensible value here is rather than just max it out. – leon.io Jul 28 '15 at 12:33

You can change the MaxReceivedMessagesSize directly in the web.config or you use the Microsoft Service Configuration Editor. (Visual Studio -> TOOLS -> WCF Service Configuration Editor).

In this editor you go to Bindings -> your Binding and then you can change the MaxReceivedMessagesSize and other size you want(Example: 1073741824).

  • Hmm, I don't see anything in the window, just File and Help menus and empty editor. Even when WCF Test Client is running. – Oak_3260548 Mar 17 '22 at 11:31

At least in WCF Test Client 15.0.28127.55 the steps are:

  1. Expand your service node and you will see a Configuration file item at the bottom.
  2. Right click > Edit with SvcConfigEditor.
  3. Go to your Bindings in the tree. Choose the one you want to edit.
  4. Edit the MaxReceivedMessageSize. Or any other property.
  5. Save with the menu File > Save.
  6. Close your opened tabs, and open a new one. Otherwise the change will not work.
