what is the difference between the two forms of converting to integer
from string

string strVal = "10";

Convert.ToInt32(strVal);

Int32.Parse(strVal);

Convert.ToInt32 returns 0 if you pass it null. Int32.Parse will throw
an exception.

which method is more efficient in terms of performance?

The difference is trivial. You should pick based on the semantics you
want.
