Assembly:

System.ServiceModel.Web.dll

Gets or sets the configuration element that contains the constraints on the complexity of SOAP messages that can be processed by endpoints configured with this binding.

public:
 property System::ServiceModel::Configuration::XmlDictionaryReaderQuotasElement ^ ReaderQuotas { System::ServiceModel::Configuration::XmlDictionaryReaderQuotasElement ^ get(); };

[System.Configuration.ConfigurationProperty("readerQuotas")]
public System.ServiceModel.Configuration.XmlDictionaryReaderQuotasElement ReaderQuotas { get; }

[<System.Configuration.ConfigurationProperty("readerQuotas")>]
member this.ReaderQuotas : System.ServiceModel.Configuration.XmlDictionaryReaderQuotasElement

Public ReadOnly Property ReaderQuotas As XmlDictionaryReaderQuotasElement

Property Value

XmlDictionaryReaderQuotasElement

The XmlDictionaryReaderQuotasElement that specifies the complexity constraints.

Attributes

ConfigurationPropertyAttribute

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The value set is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The quota values of XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas are read only.

ArgumentException

The quotas set must be positive.

Remarks

The complexity constraints protect against a class of denial of service (DOS) attacks that attempt to use message complexity to tie up endpoint processing resources. The properties that express these constraints and their default values (in bytes) are as follows:

• MaxDepth = 32

• MaxStringContentLength = 8192

• MaxArrayLength = 16384

• MaxBytesPerRead = 4096

• MaxNameTableCharCount = 16384
