You can either use a List:

List list = new List();
while(reading){ //or whatever your condition is
    list.add(readByte);
}

string output = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(list.ToArray());

Or you could use a StringBuilder :

StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

while(reading){
    builder.Append(readByte);
}

string output = builder.ToString();
