Removing the Titlebar from Windows Form

Is it possible to remove the Titlebar from a Windows Form?

I know I can create a custom region to essentially "hide" the title
bar... but the only problem with that is the fact the the Width /
Height settings of the form aren't the actual width and height, and the
location defined in the properties of the form aren't the actual
location. (i.e. if I use a region that removes the titlebar, and I set
the form's location to (0,0), it will sit lower than 0,0).

Furthermore, it'd be nice if I could make a form that appeared
different actually appear different in design mode.

It seems all of these things are possible. Any clues?

Setting FormBorderStyle = None will remove the title bar (at both design and
run time)

Alternatively if you need a border you can set ControlBox = false and Text =
""
which will have the same effect

Remove the control box and the Text (Caption) and it will appear with no
title bar.

Hi, I am creating a windows form, and when a specified event occurs (button click), I am hiding the windows form and opening a new windows form. When opening the new windows form and closing it, the main windows form would still be running in the background and never terminating. How can I terminate the old window form from the new created window. I hope someone out there understands my problem.

Hi, I've written a program which has both a command line interface and Windows form interface, however it isn't quite working correctly. When run from command line with no arguments it should display the Windows form. The form is being displayed but the command only returns when the form is closed. I want the command line to return immediately, leaving the form displayed.
