Assign a custom binding configuration for wsHttpBinding

Question

I'm running into some issues with what I believe is a pretty simple problem.

When trying to send "large" messages over WCF, I am getting the error:

The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded. To increase the quote, use the MaxReceivedMessageSize property on the appropriate binding element.

To remedy this, I created a custom binding configuration with a higher value for MaxReceivedMessageSize. But I still get the error, as if the value is not being read.

Here is my Server App.config:

<system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <wsHttpBinding>
        <binding name="largeBinding" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
          <readerQuotas maxArrayLength="2147483647"/>
        </binding>
      </wsHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <services>
      <service name="EMS.Services.TradeController">
       <endpoint address="http://localhost:9002/TradeService"
                  binding="wsHttpBinding"
                  bindingConfiguration="largeBinding"
                  contract="EMS.Contracts.Services.ITradeService"/>
      </service>
    </services>
  </system.serviceModel>

And here is my Client App.config:

<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
  <wsHttpBinding>
    <binding name="largeBinding" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
      <readerQuotas maxArrayLength="2147483647"/>
    </binding>
  </wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
  <endpoint address="http://localhost:9002/TradeService"
            binding="wsHttpBinding"
            bindingConfiguration="largeBinding"
            contract="EMS.Contracts.Services.ITradeService"/>
</client>

Is there a part I am missing to assign the binding properly?

Is the client’s configuration automatically generated by Adding Service Reference tool? I suspect whether the client proxy uses the service endpoint created by Wshttpbinding. There seems nothing with your current configuration.
Besides, please consider configuring other attributes.

     <wsHttpBinding>
        <binding name="largeBinding" allowCookies="true"
 maxReceivedMessageSize="20000000"
 maxBufferSize="20000000"
 maxBufferPoolSize="20000000">
          <readerQuotas maxDepth="32"
 maxArrayLength="200000000"
 maxStringContentLength="200000000"/>
        </binding>
      </wsHttpBinding>

The MaxBufferSize and ReaderQuotas property also needs to be configured.
MaxBufferSize
ReaderQuotas
Feel free to let me know if the problem still exists.
