assembly masm can not figure out how to do a if not less then statement

Question

how in assembly masm do you do a if not less then statement

I have this code in vb.net

 If Not variable1 < variable2 Then
                count += 1
            End If

If Not variable1 < variable3 Then
                count += 1
            End If

msgbox.show(count)

for this code count = 1

I tried all the below code and it does not work. it either gives me count = 2 at the end or count = 0 at the end. it should give me count = 1

here is the code for assembly masm

.data

variable1        dd ?
variable2       dd ?
variable3       dd ?

this is what is suppose to happen. I read from a text file 3 values they are 500,109,500 they get stored into the 3 variables so

variable1 = 500
variable2 = 109
variable3 = 506

then I need to list these in order from least to greatest so I tried to compare these.

I tried all of these variations and none of them worked

    mov esi, offset variable1
    mov ecx, offset variable2

    .if esi > ecx
    inc count
    .endif

 mov ecx, offset variable3

.if esi > ecx
    inc count
    .endif

---

    .if variable1 > offset variable2
        inc count
        .endif

.if variable1 > offset variable3
        inc count
        .endif

---

 mov esi, offset variable1
        mov ecx, offset variable2

    cmp esi,ecx
    JB n2
    inc count
    n2:

mov ecx, offset variable3

    cmp esi,ecx
    JB n3
    inc count
    n3:

---

    mov esi, offset variable1
        mov ecx, offset variable2

    cmp esi,ecx
    JG n3
    inc count
    n3:

mov ecx, offset variable3

    cmp esi,ecx
    JG n4
    inc count
    n4:

---

mov esi, [variable1]
mov ecx, [variable2]
cmp esi, ecx
ja n1
inc Level3DNS1rank
n1:

mov ecx, [variable3]
cmp esi, ecx
ja n2
inc Level3DNS1rank
n2:

how can i convert the above vb.net code into masm assembly

thank you

Update

here is the answer to these 2 questions

what I needed to do was convert the string to an integer. I used this code to do that invoke atodw,ADDR variable1 for the if not in assembly I just changed if not variable1 < variable2 to if variable1 > variable2

Answer 1

Perhaps:

mov esi, [variable1]
mov ecx, [variable2]
cmp esi, ecx
jge n2

Update

Aha. I see the problem now. You have:

variable1        db "500",0
variable2       db "109",0
variable3       db "506",0

That gets stored in memory as (the hex bytes):

variable1  35 30 30 00
variable2  31 30 39 00
variable3  35 30 36 00

But when you load a register from memory, it loads it little-endian. So when you have:

mov esi, [variable1]
mov ecx, [variable2]

The contents of esi is 00303035, and ecx is 00393031. And the last value is loaded as 00363035.

You're trying to load a string of characters as an unsigned 32-bit value. Are you really wanting to compare strings?
