A poor man's solution:

protected byte ConvertToByte(BitArray bits)
{
    if (bits.Count != 8)
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("illegal number of bits");
    }

    byte b = 0;
    if (bits.Get(7)) b++;
    if (bits.Get(6)) b += 2;
    if (bits.Get(5)) b += 4;
    if (bits.Get(4)) b += 8;
    if (bits.Get(3)) b += 16;
    if (bits.Get(2)) b += 32;
    if (bits.Get(1)) b += 64;
    if (bits.Get(0)) b += 128;
    return b;
}
