Add web.release.config value at compilation

I need to add this block to my binding in my web.config when there is a release compilation :
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None"/>
</security>
Here is the snippet of my web.config :
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicBinding" closeTimeout="24.20:31:23.6470000" openTimeout="24.20:31:23.6470000" receiveTimeout="24.20:31:23.6470000" sendTimeout="24.20:31:23.6470000" allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" messageEncoding="Text" transferMode="Buffered" useDefaultWebProxy="true">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
And here is my transformation method web.release.config following this documentation :
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding>
<security mode="Transport" xdt:Transform="InsertAfter(/configuration/system.serviceModel/bindings/basicHttpBinding/binding)">
<transport clientCredentialType="None"/>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
I face the following erreur on compilation on VSTS :
[error]Sources\Foo.Interface\Web.Release.config(16,6): Error : No element in the source document matches '/configuration/bindings/basicHttpBinding'
Of course I tried with other similar values but facing all time the same issue.

Not clear about the error. But if you want to insert security node into your web.config's binding node, you could write the following code in your web.release.config
using xdt:Transform="Insert"
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicBinding" >
<security mode="Transport" xdt:Transform="Insert" >
<transport clientCredentialType="None"/>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>

Still having "The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large"

I have made my search with Google and read all articles I can find on StackOverflow but I am still getting the error "The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large" and can't quite seem to figure out how to resolve.
My app.config file is as follows:

ProtocolException was handled, Max string content length quota 8192

I have a C# WCF service and a C# console application and wish to pass a large file from the application to the WCF. When I pass the string, I get protocolexception, max string content length quota exceeded (8192) which is correct. I change the MaxStringContentLength on ReaderQuotas in the Apps.Config to a large amount but nothing happens, it still errors. Does anyone know why? Do I need to add something to the web.config. The contents of my files are below :-

Gave me exactly what I wanted.

When you're sending the large string from the client to the service, you need to increase the limits in the service configuration (i.e. web.config). Example:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="customHttpBinding" maxBufferSize="2147483647"
maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" />
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IMyWebService" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"
useDefaultWebProxy="true">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="16384"
maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />

</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>

Transferring 5 megabytes file using wcf

I am trying to use wcf for transferring a file larger then 5 mega.(i cant use streeaming for now it demands major changes to running code).
I configured the server and the client to the maximum settings and still i get the exception of maximum length.
Here is my server web.config:
<system.serviceModel>
<diagnostics>
<messageLogging logMalformedMessages="true" logMessagesAtServiceLevel="true"
logMessagesAtTransportLevel="true" />
</diagnostics>
<services>
<service name="xxx.xxx.Service">

</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="b2bservice" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00"
receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00" allowCookies="false"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"
transferMode="Buffered" useDefaultWebProxy="true">

And here is the client app.config:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>

<client>
<endpoint address="xxx"

</client>
My trace Logging is:
Maximum request length exceeded.
System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException, System.ServiceModel,
Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089`
Any thoughts?

You are not resetting the default 4MB limit properly.
Try this: http://smehrozalam.wordpress.com/2009/01/29/retrieving-huge-amount-of-data-from-wcf-service-in-silverlight-application/

Set maxRequestLength in httpRuntime section in Web.config
HttpRuntime configuration element

You'll need to increase the max request length by changing the following setting in web.config
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="32768" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
The value is in KB.

You can use tracing to get more details about your problem and fix it or give use exact error message.

WCF SecurityNegotiationException by trying remote access

I have a WCF Webservice deployed on IIS 6. I deployed it now buy create a WebSite and use the default settings.
I can see the DNSService.svc?wsdl in my Webbrowser so i can access this site. But if i make a WebReference in my VS project and try to run a method of the WebService the programm runs in a SecurityNegotiationException. The Messagetext said something like the caller couldn't be authed by the Webservice. But why is my access dined? i dindt setup a password or ssl or something
How could i change the behavior of the webservice so i could talk to him.

The Problem was the binding type! wsHTTPBinding only works in a Domain. For usage in the Internet i had to set up HTTPBinding like that
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IDNSService" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"

messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"
useDefaultWebProxy="true">

maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<security mode="None">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"
realm=""/>
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://MyServer/MyService.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IDNSService"

hope this could help somebody
