Json – Error The length of the string exceeds the value set on the maxJsonLength property

jsonkendo-grid

I am currently have a grid with PDF attachment. Each PDF can have file size up to 1MB. The problem is I am getting the value "Error during serialization or deserialization using the JSON JavaScriptSerializer. The length of the string exceeds the value set on the maxJsonLength property"

I already placed the following in the web.config but the problem is it works only if the Kendo UI Grid needs to display 6 records.

<system.web.extensions>
    <scripting>
      <webServices>
        <jsonSerialization maxJsonLength = "2147483647"></jsonSerialization>
      </webServices>
    </scripting>
</system.web.extensions>

Based on the following link:

public ActionResult SomeControllerAction()
{
  var jsonResult = Json(veryLargeCollection, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
  jsonResult.MaxJsonLength = int.MaxValue;
  return jsonResult;
}

Json – set an unlimited length for maxJsonLength in web.config

NOTE: this answer applies only to Web services, if you are returning JSON from a Controller method, make sure you read this SO answer below as well: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7207539/1246870

The MaxJsonLength property cannot be unlimited, is an integer property that defaults to 102400 (100k).

You can set the MaxJsonLength property on your web.config:

<configuration> 
   <system.web.extensions>
       <scripting>
           <webServices>
               <jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="50000000"/>
           </webServices>
       </scripting>
   </system.web.extensions>
</configuration>

Json set Max length

On your controller, return your json like this:

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

You can change the MaxJsonLength according to your needs.
