int.Parse or Convert.ToInt32. They will throw an exception if the string cannot be converted. int.TryParse won't throw an exception, and should be used if the string possible could not be valid.

But what if you have a string like "us dollars $34cheap". TryParse gives 0 for the result. atoi would give 34. Is there anything in C# that does exactly what atoi does in C++?

I don't know of anyting, but it wouldn't be hard to implement it yourself. Just walk all the characters in the string, and copy the ones that are numbers to a temporal string, ignoring letters and symbols. Then int.TryParse that temporal string and you're done.
