.net Deserialization Serializer Does Not Work When Line Length Exceeds 32768 Characters

Question

I have a way like this:

var stringReader = new StringReader(ruleSetXmlDefinition); var reader = XmlReader.Create(stringReader); var serializer = new WorkflowMarkupSerializer(); return serializer.Deserialize(reader) as RuleSet; 

When the ruleSetXmlDefinition rule exceeds 32768 characters, I get the following error:

Unexpected end of file while parsing name. Line 1, position 32768.

How can I change this so that it can handle strings of any length?

I suspect that you can configure Wcf to accept large arrays, see also this answer:

• Maximum length of array length

I found the answer to this problem, and unfortunately it was something really obvious ... the line I was going through was actually truncated, so the problem was that the xml was not well formed.
