Answer 1

You don't need any LINQ.
Convert.ToInt*() takes an optional fromBase parameter, which must be 2, 8, 10, or 16.

Convert.ToInt32("1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0".Replace(" ", ""), 2)

Answer 2

An alternative to @SLaks's answer (but only for parsing Hex) is

Int32.Parse(hexString, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);

There's no equivalent for binary, though, so his is a better general-purpose answer.
