Use the Sign(Decimal) method to determine the sign of a Decimal value and display it to the console.

    
Class Sample
   Public Shared Sub Main()
      Dim xDecimal1 As [Decimal] = -7D

      Console.WriteLine(xDecimal1)
      Console.WriteLine(Test(Math.Sign(xDecimal1)))

   End Sub 

   Public Shared Function Test([compare] As Integer) As [String]
      If [compare] = 0 Then
         Return "equal to"
      ElseIf [compare] < 0 Then
         Return "less than"
      Else
         Return "greater than"
      End If
