How to send multiple waypoints to a virtual earth routing web service

Question

I'm trying to use the virtual earth web service:

http://staging.dev.virtualearth.net/webservices/v1/routeservice/routeservice.svc?wsdl

to return the total journey distance made by a vehicle that has stopped at several points.

My code works fine for journeys with 4 waypoints, but anything more than that I get the following error:

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.

the rough code is: (C# console app)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Xml;
using System.Text;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Threading;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using altRouteFinder.VEStagingToken;
using altRouteFinder.VERoutingService;

namespace altRouteFinder
{
 class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        waypointString = "53.450356,-2.873335;53.399184,-2.980577;53.440535,-2.864101;53.449368,-2.885361;53.454417,-2.930646;53.450356,-2.873335";

        string[] points = waypointString.Split(';');
        Waypoint[] waypoints = new Waypoint[points.Length];
        double dayDistance = 0;
        int pointIndex = -1;
        foreach (string point in points)
        {
            pointIndex++;
            waypoints[pointIndex] = new Waypoint();
            string[] digits = point.Split(',');
            waypoints[pointIndex].Location = new VERoutingService.Location();
            waypoints[pointIndex].Location.Latitude = double.Parse(digits[0].Trim());
            waypoints[pointIndex].Location.Longitude = double.Parse(digits[1].Trim());

            if (pointIndex == 0)
                waypoints[pointIndex].Description = "Start";
            else if (pointIndex == points.Length)
                waypoints[pointIndex].Description = "End";
            else
                waypoints[pointIndex].Description = string.Format("Stop #{0}", pointIndex);
        }

        routeRequest.Waypoints = waypoints;

        RouteOptions myRouteOptions = new RouteOptions();
        //Set travel mode - Driving or Walking 
        myRouteOptions.Mode = TravelMode.Driving;
        //Set the optimization type - MinimizeDistance or MinimizeTime 
        myRouteOptions.Optimization = RouteOptimization.MinimizeTime;
        //Set the use of traffic conditions - TrafficBasedRouteAndTime, TrafficBasedTime, or None 
        myRouteOptions.TrafficUsage = TrafficUsage.TrafficBasedTime;
        //Pass the Route Options to the Route Object 
        routeRequest.Options = myRouteOptions; 

        // Make the calculate route request
        RouteServiceClient routeService = new RouteServiceClient();

        RouteResponse routeResponse = routeService.CalculateRoute(routeRequest);

        // Iterate through each itinerary item to get the route directions
        StringBuilder directions = new StringBuilder("");

        if (routeResponse.Result.Legs.Length > 0)
        {
            int instructionCount = 0;
            int legCount = 0;

            foreach (RouteLeg leg in routeResponse.Result.Legs)
            {
                legCount++;
                directions.Append(string.Format("Leg #{0}\n", legCount));

                foreach (ItineraryItem item in leg.Itinerary)
                {
                    instructionCount++;
                    directions.Append(string.Format("{0}. {1} {2}\n",
                        instructionCount, item.Summary.Distance, item.Text));
                    dayDistance += item.Summary.Distance;
                }
            }
            //Remove all Bing Maps tags around keywords.  
            //If you wanted to format the results, you could use the tags
            Regex regex = new Regex("<[/a-zA-Z:]*>",
              RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.Multiline);
            results = regex.Replace(directions.ToString(), string.Empty);
        }
        else
            results = "No Route found";

        Console.WriteLine(results);
        Console.WriteLine(dayDistance);
    }

}

}

I don't know where to set the MaxReceivedMessageSize plus I've read that it only work on Vista?!

Help anyone?

I found the solution here: link text

The maxReceivedMessgeSize is in the .config file of the app, i.e. web.config or app.config etc.

You do this in the app.config in WPF and web.config in asp

The trick is, maxBufferSize must also be equal to maxReceivedMessageSize

The max for RouteService is 9000000. I tested this and was able to get a list of directions across the world.

<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IRouteService" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
                    openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
                    allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
                    maxBufferSize="65536" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
                    messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"
                    useDefaultWebProxy="true">
