Json set max length

Question

Im working with asp.net MVC3. I am using the Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject method to parse a json object. Im Im getting the error "An error occurred while serializing or deserializing using the JSON JavaScriptSerializer. The string length exceeds the value set in the maxJsonLength property."

I also tried setting in web.config to the maximum length. But, there is no benefit.

Please help me.

thanks

Answer 1

Try the following steps at this URL. This is mainly because the size of the Json response object is too large and exceeds the maximum size.

On your controller, return your json as follows:

var result = //your data; var jsonResult = Json(result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); jsonResult.MaxJsonLength = int.MaxValue; 

You can change MaxJsonLength to suit your needs.
