This should do it:

string binaryText = "1101000";
int value1 = Convert.ToInt32(binaryText, 2) // 104
byte value2 = Convert.ToByte(binaryText, 2); // 104

to convert into byte array:

System.Text.ASCIIEncoding  encoding=new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
byte [] dBytes = encoding.GetBytes(str);

Well that will convert it into a byte array, but almost certainly not in the way that the OP wants. (There's no need to create a new instance of ASCIIEncoding, btw - just use Encoding.ASCII.)
