The length of the string exceeds the value set on the maxJsonLength property.
I'm getting the following error on an Umbraco 4.7.2 site. I've made the <jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="50000000"/> change to my web.config file but it had no effect. I don't have uComponents installed either as that seems to be the cause of the error for other people on this forum. The error is generated when I try to expand a node in my Content section. There are child nodes but they won't show up when I try to expand it. Any ideas? Here is the error:
Server Error in '/' Application.

I suspect you've solved this by now, but I figure I'll give a shot in the dark for a possible solution in case others come across this issue.
I'd guess this is caused by a large content tree. And you mentioned you changed the maxJsonLength in the web.config. However, I believe the folder "Umbraco" in your install may have its own web.config. If it too sets the jsonSerialization XML node, it may be overriding the maxJsonLength from the parent web.config.
So, the hypothetical solution would be to dig into the nested web.config and set the maxJsonLength there.
If that's wrong and you found another solution, do let us know. :-)
Yeah, this was on a project that was a while back. To be honest, I don't remember which one. I think it was being caused by a ridiculous number of nodes in the content tree (which were being generated erroneously). Anyway, thanks for looking into it though! :)

Shameless bump. Still no ideas?

Seems the Umbraco folder doesn't have a nested web.config. I must have just made that up. Oh well, strike that theory.
