The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded

My WCF Service has an OperationContract that accepts, as a parameter, an array of objects. This can potentially be quite large. After looking for fixes for Bad Request: 400, I found the real reason: the maximum message size.

I know this question has been asked before in MANY places. I've tried what everyone says: "Increase the sizes in the client and server config files." I have. It still doesn't work.

My Service's web.config:

<system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service name="myService">
        <endpoint name="myEndpoint" address=""
                  binding="basicHttpBinding"

What can I possibly be missing or doing wrong? It's as though the service is ignoring what I typed in the maxReceivedBufferSize.

Thanks in advance, Kyle

UPDATE

Here are two other StackOverflow questions where they never received an answer, either:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2880623/maxreceivedmessagesize-adjusted-but-still-getting-the-quotaexceedexception-with

WCF MaxReceivedMessageSize property not taking

In the service config file, the "name" attribute is missing from the element

<behaviors>
  <serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="StackOverflow">

and there should be a reference to this name in the service element:

<system.serviceModel>
    <services>
        <service behaviorConfiguration="StackOverflow" name="myService">
            <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="myBinding"

In general, it's a good idea to validate, if not always edit, your WCF config files using the "WCF Service Configuration Editor", which is invoked from the Visual Studio "Tools" menu item.

Also there is no endpoint behavior defined for the service. I don't know if this matters.

I had the same problem with WCF Test and I had set corectly the config file. If isn't any problems from your config file, I suggest try to test the service with another program eg: SOAP UI, I think this error it's not from the service, it's from the WCF Test.
