WCF - There was no endpoint listening - wcf

Question

One of my WCF Services has an operation contract taking a large sized file as a parameter. So, when the client tries to send this over, I got an exception and when I looked at the server trace this is what I saw:
MESSAGE: 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 was using the default simplified configuration for my WCF services, so added a new service definition as follows:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="MyNamespace.MyService">
<endpoint address="MyService.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="basicHttp"
contract="MyNamespace.IMyService" />
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="basicHttp" allowCookies="true"
maxReceivedMessageSize="10485760"
maxBufferSize="10485760"
maxBufferPoolSize="10485760">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32"
maxArrayLength="10485760"
maxStringContentLength="10485760"/>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
...
</behaviors>
<protocolMapping>
...
</protocolMapping>
The way I consume my services is, I have a function returning a channel in my helper class, and I use that channel to call the operations:
public static T CreateChannel<T>() where T : IBaseService
{
System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding binding= new System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding();
binding.TransferMode = TransferMode.Streamed;
binding.Security = new BasicHttpSecurity() { Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.None };
binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 10485760;
binding.MaxBufferSize = 10485760;
System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory<T> cf2 = new ChannelFactory<T>(binding,
new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress(MyEndpointAddress)); //I checked this part, the address is correct.
T Channel= cf2.CreateChannel();
return Channel;
}
and then,
var businessObject = WcfHelper.CreateChannel<IMyService>();
var operationResult = await businessObject.MyOperationAsync(...);
Even though, my other services are running correctly, the one I defined in the configuration explicitly returns an exception of "There was no endpoint listening..." I am developing on VS2012, using IISExpress. What may be the problem, any suggestions?

Answer 1

I think there is a mismatch for transfert mode. In client-side, you are are using streamed transfert whereas in server-side it is not in the config. In addition, you have specified 10MB, which is not so high.
Please visit this for more info on streaming.
Edit :
If you are hosting under IIS, please also check (default is 4Mb) :
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="4096 " />
</system.web>
