Gets or sets the maximum size for a message that can be received on a channel configured with this binding.
Public Property MaxReceivedMessageSize As Long
Dim instance As BasicHttpBinding Dim value As Long value = instance.MaxReceivedMessageSize instance.MaxReceivedMessageSize = value
public long MaxReceivedMessageSize { get; set; }
public: property long long MaxReceivedMessageSize { long long get (); void set (long long value); }
public function get MaxReceivedMessageSize () : long public function set MaxReceivedMessageSize (value : long)
The value is less than zero.
The size of the messages that can be received on the wire by services using the BasicHttpBinding is bounded by the amount of memory allocated for each message. This bound on message size is intended to limit exposure to DoS-style attacks.
There is also a MaxBufferSize property on the BasicHttpBinding:
For buffered transports, (TransferMode set to Buffered). This value is always equal to that specified by the MaxReceivedMessageSize.
For streamed transports (TransferMode set to Streamed), only the SOAP headers must be buffered to generate the message. The body can be streamed in on-demand. In this case, MaxBufferSize is less than or equal to MaxReceivedMessageSize, where MaxReceivedMessageSize bounds the size of the overall message (headers and body) and MaxBufferSize bounds the size of the SOAP headers.
The following example sets MaxReceivedMessageSize to 1,000,000 bytes.
BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding(); // Use double the default value binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 65536 * 2;
The value of this property can also be set in the configuration file.
<configuration> <system.serviceModel> <bindings> <basicHttpBinding> <binding name="Binding1" maxReceivedMessageSize = "1000000"> <security mode="None" /> </binding> </basicHttpBinding> </bindings> </system.serviceModel> </configuration>
