String status = "1234";
Byte   cityStatus;
Boolean goodValue = Byte.TryParse(status, out cityStatus);
if(goodValue) Console.WriteLine (cityStatus);
else Console.WriteLine ("Status ["+ status + "] rejected");

output:

Status [1234] rejected

edit:

sorry, my answer was the opposite to your question ... Byte to String is easy:

String status;
Byte   cityStatus = 255;
status = cityStatus.ToString();
Console.WriteLine (status);

output:

255

see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.byte.tostring(v=vs.110).aspx "Byte.ToString Method"
