Display long HTML text in a web page c# code

Question

I am using C#.net

I have webpage, this page has a list view of "Reports IDs"

The requested functionality is Report Text should be displayed in a div when a user click on a report id in the list box.

Report Text is HTML format ( quite long around 16,000,000 char)

When I click on Report ID in the list box

I get this error

I added

<system.webServer>
        <security>
            <requestFiltering>
                <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824" />
            </requestFiltering>
        </security>
</system.webServer>

but still getting same error!

How to fix that?

I found the answer

In system.web

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1048576" executionTimeout="3600" />

And in system.webServer

<security>
    <requestFiltering>
        <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824" />
    </requestFiltering>
</security>

This might help you!

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5.2" maxRequestLength="1048576"/>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

<system.webServer>
  <security>
    <requestFiltering>
      <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824" />
    </requestFiltering>
  </security>
</system.webServer>

Rules:

maxRequestLength (expressed in kb) value must match maxAllowedContentLength (expressed in bytes).
most of the time your system.web section may already contains an "httpRuntime". set your targetFramework to the version of your .net used.

Notes:

default value for maxRequestLength is 4096 (4mb). max value is 2,147,483,647
default value for maxAllowedContentLength is 30,000,000 (around 30mb). max value is 4,294,967,295
