I have a report part which deployed perfectly every time I made any changes until today.

The report has around 20 links, and an image on it.

I have added a table to it today, clicked deploy and it gave me the following error:

Error   1   There was an exception running the extensions specified in the config file. ---> Maximum request length exceeded.       0   0

As I say, all I have done is added a table to it and that has caused mayhem. WHY?

I faced this problem recently. There is a property called maxRequestLength which needs to be increased in the machine and web.config file which is in the following location.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer
