Hi,
Having a go at reading in the timer list using the new async processes in Visual Studio 2012.
The application throws an exception when reading in the timer list direct into a string, stating the following (I'm using the ?utf8 parameter in the query string).
'The character set provided in ContentType is invalid. Cannot read content as string using an invalid character set'
However, if I read it into a byte array, then use UTF8 encoding to convert it to string, it works OK.
So no big issue - there's an easy workaround, just thought you might like to know.
