Converting byte to int

so I have a Bytearray BYTE dataOut[3] with the following data which I send out to a device.

unsigned int value = 512;
BYTE low_byte = 0xff & value;
BYTE high_byte = value >> 8;

dataOut[0]=SET_POSITION; //predefined
dataOut[1]=low_byte;
dataOut[2]=high_byte;

The device executes the command in this data packet. Then I call a read function which populates BYTE dataIn[3] with data of the same format. How can I convert the bytes in dataIn[1] and dataIn[2] into an int value?

Thanks!

value = (unsigned int)dataIn[2] << 8 + (unsigned int)dataIn[1]

should do it....
