If you're trying to implement webservice in your app and getting following error message:

The maximum string content length quota (8192) has been exceeded while reading XML data. This quota may be increased by changing the MaxStringContentLength property on the XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas object used when creating the XML reader.

...it indicates that the content(xml) you're getting back from the service, cannot be saved into string variable as it exeeds string object content limit.

In order to fix the issue, you need to increase maxStringContentLength property in web.config.

You'll find that property on configuration -> system.serviceModel -> bindings -> basicHttpBinding -> binding -> readerQuotas node.

Maxstringcontentlength
