Problem Importing Bulk Typed Objects from WCF or Problem getting huge list using WCF

If you are experiencing problem referencing a WCF Web Service from Silverlight which transmits bulk Data in terms of List then you have to tweak ur configuration a little in order to make our application run.

Suppose you have a silverlight application having a DropDownlist which would display 1/2 million names of a Type,say Person.

Your Wcf application is having a service contact that you pass 1/2 a million Types to the SilverLight application, eg: List GetAllPersons();

List personList=new List();
So you have a list containing 1/2 a million objects of Type and each having the details of TYpe.

The web.Config of the WCF Service Application should have BindingConfiguration and that configuration should possess these properties transferMode="Streamed",maxBufferSize="65536",maxReceivedMessageSize="204003200"'.
Here the Streamed transfer mode would help us to transit Bulk Typed Objects from WCF Service.
