If ByteBuffer contains a NUL-terminated string, then the code should work fine.

If it doesn't, you need to supply its length as the second parameter to the string constructor.

The above assumes that Byte is what I think it is, and that ByteBuffer is not NULL.

There's no such data type as 'Byte' in C++. I assume it's a 8-bit data store if at all it exists, in which case your code is correct. Make sure there's a null character - '\0' in the buffer.

BYTE, on the other hand, is defined by Windows.

Another thing to note is that BYTE will likely be an unsigned char.
