WCF Service: File upload ends in Protocol exception: MaxArraylength exceeded - wcf

Question

I'm coding a webservice at the moment and the usage is as followed:
I got a frontend as dll, means I got a library project with a wpf window.
That library shall be called from other programs.
The Backend WCF-service is hosted on an external IIS and the frontend calls the webservice methods via a controller.dll where the wcf service is referenced.
I've read several post here and from google already about the same issue...but I can't get it fixed.
I got a dummy windows forms, which calls the frontend.dll.
That project got that app.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00"
allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"
useDefaultWebProxy="true">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647"
maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
<security mode="None">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://Hidden-ip/TicketReportService.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService"
contract="ServiceReference.IService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
I'm aware, that each program that wants to call my frontend.dll would need to put the binding/endpoint configurations in their own app.config if I proceed like i described here.
Thats just an example though, later I'm doing the binding/endpoint config programaticallly in my controller.dll, so I dont need configuration files...but thats another topic.
If I call my method, that uploads the file via the webservice I got two scenarios:
if file > 16kb and <~30kb I get a protoccol exception, thats telling me that the "MaxArrayLength" (16384) was exceeded.
if I'm trying to upload a file with about 60kb I get a protocoll exception as well, but just with the information: "remoteserver returned unexpected answer.(400) bad request.
If you look in the app.config, the maxarray length is setted to int32.max value.
Also if I check the binding of the object that calls the method, its telling me that the maxarraylength was taken from the app.config....but I'm still getting the error message.
What did I wrong here?
Thats a client side issue, i'snt it?
In my service web.config on the IIS I got following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="BackendService.Behavior" name="MyNamespaye.Service">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="MyNamespaye.IService" />

...fixed it myself. Didn't know that it has to be configured on the service side as well!
new web.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>

useDefaultWebProxy="true">

...just did another google search and found a proper exampel of a web.config.
Thanks anyway for anyone that read the OP.
