How can I set the maxItemsInObjectGraph property programmatically from a Silverlight Application?

I have a Silverlight 3.0 application that is using a WCF service to communicate with the database, and when I have large amounts of data being returned from the service methods I get Service Not Found errors. I am fairly confident that the solution to it is to simply update the maxItemsInObjectGraph property, but I am creating the service client progrogrammatically and cannot find where to set this property. Here is what I am doing right now:

BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.None)
{
    MaxReceivedMessageSize = int.MaxValue,                  
    MaxBufferSize = int.MaxValue
};                        

MyService.MyServiceServiceClient client = new MyService.MyServiceProxyServiceClient(binding, new EndpointAddress(new Uri(Application.Current.Host.Source, "../MyService.svc")));

It's not defined in binding, but in Service Behavior.

In Silveright, maxItemsInObjectGraph defaults to int.MaxValue.

Here is an article on how to change it for .NET application, but not Silverlight: Programattically setting the MaxItemsInObjectGraph property in client

A snippet of the code:

protected ISecurityAdministrationService GetSecAdminClient()
{
     ChannelFactory<ISecurityAdministrationService> factory = new    ChannelFactory<ISecurityAdministrationService>(wsSecAdminBinding, SecAdminEndpointAddress);
     foreach (OperationDescription op in factory.Endpoint.Contract.Operations)
     {
       DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior dataContractBehavior =op.Behaviors.Find<DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior>() as DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior;
       if (dataContractBehavior != null)
       {
             dataContractBehavior.MaxItemsInObjectGraph = 2147483647;
       }
     }
    ISecurityAdministrationService client = factory.CreateChannel();
    return client;
}
