Exception when sending larger amount of Data

My Services fail when they transmit arrays larger than an certain size.
The size seams to be independent to the binding used.
The exception thrown is usually:

Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException:
The server did not provide a meaningful reply; this might be caused by a contract mismatch, apremature session shutdown or an internal server error.

but i′ve seendifferentexceptions as well such like access violations and stuff if the array is even larger.

I′ve tested an can reproduce thisbehaviourfor basicHttp, wsHttp, netTcp and netPipeTcp Binging.

Code thatreproducesthebehaviour:

service:

[ServiceContract(Namespace="http://Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples")] publicinterfaceICalculator { [OperationContract] string[] Add(int i); } // Service class which implements the service contract. publicclassCalculatorService :ICalculator{ publicstring[] Add(int i){ string[] s =newstring[ i ]; for (int j = 0; i < j; i++){ s[j] ="1234567890"; } return s; } }

client:

classClient{ staticvoid Main(){ // Create a proxy with given client endpoint configuration using (CalculatorProxy proxy =newCalculatorProxy()){ while (true) { Console.WriteLine("i?"); int i =Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine()); proxy.Add(i); } proxy.Close(); proxy.Dispose(); } Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to terminate client."); Console.ReadLine(); } }

Values above 1000 blow the service with an basic Binding and above 600 for a wsHttp Binding.

I′m running a Windwos Xp and the service is hosted in IIS but Console hosting is the same.

Is there a workaround to this issue?
