C# IF Statement - XNA

Hi Guys,

I created an IF Statement for my XNA game which allows you to move the position of the characters:

if (activeCharacter.DestY > activeCharacter.OriginY - 48)           // Do I change all of 'activeCharacter' to classroom
        {
         //STOP           
            activeCharacter.DestY = activeCharacter.DestY - 1;}
         //ANIMATION

        else if (activeCharacter.DestX <  680)
        {
            activeCharacter.DestX = activeCharacter.DestX + 1;}

        else
            if (activeCharacter.DestY < 566)

        { activeCharacter.DestY = activeCharacter.DestY + 1; }

        Console.WriteLine(activeCharacter.DestY);

The last part of the code stops the 'active character' from moving to it's last postion as the game updates and goes back to the top of the code.

In my console it shows that the first if causes the last else if to minus 1 and then add one:

Console: 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2

It was recommended to me that I may need to recode the whole if statement but I am not too sure how I am suppose to do this.

Can someone please tell me stop this from happening?

Thanks!
