I am working on the demo project for File Upload mechanism in ASP.Net c#.

I tested that demo on my local machine and it is working fine for file with 520 kb file size. But when I try to upload file with 19.20 mb file size, it gives an following error:

C#

Server Error in '/' Application.

Maximum request length exceeded.

What I have tried:

I tried to add some line of code in web.config as suggested in some question related to this, which is as follows:

<system.webServer>
  <security>
    <requestFiltering>
      <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824" />
    </requestFiltering>
  </security>
</system.webServer>

I have not deployed the Application on IIS server.

Just running the Application using visual studio.

can you add
httpruntime maxrequestlength="2097151"

in your webconfig?

requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824"

this line in web.config.

Add following lines of code in your web.config.

XML

<system.web>
  <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1073741824" targetFramework="4.5" />
</system.web>

if you are running on IIS 7 or later add following lines.

XML

<system.webServer>
  <security>
    <requestFiltering>
      <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824" />
    </requestFiltering>
  </security>
</system.webServer>
