How to programmatically configure maxBufferSize settings for a WCF client?

Question

I set the wcf client options programmatically as shown below:

try
{
ServiceReference1.MyDbServiceClient webService =
    new ServiceReference1.MyDbServiceClient(new System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding(),
    new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress((string)((App)Application.Current).Resources["wcfMyDBServiceEndPoint"]));

    webService.GetSeriesImagesCompleted += new EventHandler<ServiceReference1.GetSeriesImagesCompletedEventArgs>(webService_GetSeriesImagesCompleted);
    webService.GetSeriesImagesAsync(index);
}

It is great for the standard maxBufferSize. However, when the client exceeds the default size, the exception is through: "the maximum message size quota for incoming messages has been exceeded (65536)."

How to set this parameter in the code? Thank.

BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.None);
binding.CloseTimeout = new TimeSpan(00, 05, 00);
binding.OpenTimeout = new TimeSpan(00, 05, 00);
binding.ReceiveTimeout = new TimeSpan(00, 05, 00);
binding.SendTimeout = new TimeSpan(00, 05, 00);
binding.TextEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = int.MaxValue;
binding.MaxBufferSize = int.MaxValue;             

binding.GetType().GetProperty("ReaderQuotas").SetValue(binding, XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas.Max, null);

Create a binding based on your requirements.
