Definition

Namespace:

System.ServiceModel.Configuration

Assembly:

System.ServiceModel.Web.dll

Gets or sets 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

Examples

XmlDictionaryReaderQuotasElement webMessageReaderQuotasElement = webMEE.ReaderQuotas;  
Console.WriteLine("The max depth of the reader Quotas is: {0}", webMessageReaderQuotasElement.MaxDepth);  

Remarks

The complexity constraints include items like a maximum element depth, or a maximum length for string content within the message. The constraints protect against a type of denial of service (DOS) attacks that attempt to use message complexity to tie up endpoint processing resources.
