My attempt to avoid the exception MiscExtensions.cs:

public static string AsString(this byte[] buffer, string encoding)
{
    Encoding enc;
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(encoding))
        enc = Encoding.UTF8;
    else
        try
        {
            enc = Encoding.GetEncoding(encoding);
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            enc = Encoding.UTF8;
        }

    return AsString(buffer, enc);
}

Paste the stacktrace and the code. One line is not enough.
