Hi Prabhu,
Initially By default, it is possible to send or receive 4MB of data(Maximum). If you want to send more than that, you have to change the maxMessageLength in your web.config file like below. 
<configuration>

  <system.web>

  <httpRuntime maxMessageLength="409600"

    executionTimeoutInSeconds="300"/>

  </system.web>

</configuration>

From the above change, you will be able to send 400MB of data with maximum time of 300 seconds. After that time, your execution will get stopped as TimeOut.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks

Thanks & Regards,
Krishna

Hi Goud.Kv,
I added the above line, but it shows "maxMessageLength and executionTimeoutInSeconds" is not allowed. I am using Visual studio 2010. Kindly give me the solution to solve the issue.

Ok Prabhu. Please add <microsoft.web.services3> tag in your web.config file like below,
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="microsoft.web.services3" type="Microsoft.Web.Services3.Configuration.WebServicesConfiguration, Microsoft.Web.Services3, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
  </configSections>
</configuration>

I think it works after this.

Thanks & Regards,
Krishna

Replace your web.config file with below code and try, 
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>

  <configSections>

    <section name="microsoft.web.services3" type="Microsoft.Web.Services3.Configuration.WebServicesConfiguration, Microsoft.Web.Services3, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />

  </configSections>    

        <system.web>

          <httpRuntime maxMessageLength="409600"

            executionTimeoutInSeconds="300"/>

                <webServices>

                        <protocols>

                                <add name="HttpGet"/>

                                <add name="HttpPost"/>

                        </protocols>      

                </webServices>

                <compilation debug="true"/>

                <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="Error.aspx" redirectMode="ResponseRedirect">    

                </customErrors>

        </system.web>

  <microsoft.web.services3>

     <messaging>

      <maxMessageLength value="-1" />

     </messaging>

  </microsoft.web.services3>

        <connectionStrings>

                <add name="con" connectionString="Data Source=192.168.9.12;user id=sa;password=sa;Integrated Security=false;Initial Catalog=test"  providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

        </connectionStrings>    

</configuration>

Setting maxMessageLength value to -1 will disables the data limit.

Thanks & Regards,
Krishna

Had you Installed WSE 3.0

You have to install it and apply it in your web.config file.

Thanks & Regards,
Krishna

Follow here to do that..
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa529248.aspx

WSE 3.0 :The Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 3.0 for Microsoft® .NET is an add-on to Microsoft Visual Studio® 2005 and the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 that enables developers to build secure Web services based on the latest Web services protocol specifications.

Hope it works after doing this..

Thanks & Regards,
Krishna

Hi,
I am using visual studio 2010, i developed the webservice using framework 4.0, there is no WSE available for Framework 4.0.

[Note: WSE is available for Framework 2 and not for Framework 4]
