I am unable to pass a string as an argument to a WCF operation call. The string is quite large (about 12000 characters).
I have increased maxStringContentLength in web.config and played around with almost all the attributes but the problem still remains.
I have found a workaround - Split the string at client's end and concatenate at the server's end. It works this way.
Can anybody direct me towards the right way of solving this problem? Why WCF operation call is able to accept the same amount of data (split into 2 string parameters) but throws error when that data is passed in one string parameter? Where do we configure the size limit of WCF operation arguments?

TestService.Service1Client client = new TestService.Service1Client();
string str = "VERY LARGE STRING";
//DOES NOT WORK
client.TakeLargeStringParam(str);
//WORKS
client.TakeLargeStringParam2(str.Substring(0, 5000), str.Substring(5000));

You need to increase the maxStringContentLength at the server side, not at the client. The web.config only has a <client>
section, and to configure a service you'd need to set a <service>
section there. If there's no matching service configuration on the service, it will use a default one, which has the default quota values.
