This might be a very basic question. I need to remove the zero before decimal point and print it that way. For example if I have 0.8 it should show .8

Use the formatting provided by the ToString method to clip away the integer part if it is 0

Dim x as Decimal = 0.8
Dim textToPrinto = x.ToString(".####")

(This keeps 4 decimals if present before rounding)

If you are using a StreamWriter or printing output to a file, then you can also use the Format statement. Format is used in a MsgBox example below (place in a Button command), which is identical for using in a sw or Print, Printline command. 

   Dim x As Double = 0.8
   'You can remove zeroes after the decimal below
   MsgBox(Format(x, ".0000"))
   MsgBox(Format(x, ".0"))
