Error while import Excel file

Ruben Silva

Question

I have a Excel file with 15409 lines. Whenever i try to import it, an error is generated and my error handlers don't catch it.
In the service center i get an error message saying: "Maximum request length exceeded." Does anyone knows how can i solve this problem?

Thanks :)

Hi Ruben,

the problem you have is related to the maximum request length that it is allowed by your application server. Probably your excel file exceeds the 4096 KBytes configured by default.
You can change this configuration on the machine.config file on the following element:
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="90" maxRequestLength="4096" useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false" minFreeThreads="8" minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4" appRequestQueueLimit="100" enableVersionHeader="true" />

Change the attribute maxRequestLength to a different value according to the needs of the application.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
