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.
