Is there any way to run C# Windows Forms application in fullscreen mode (no title bar and borders)? I'm searching for a solution which doesn't use Direct3D, OpenGL, etc. just plain Windows Forms code.

I'm assuming you mean forms made in the GUI dialog designer. No, there is not a way of telling a form to be full screen, but you can do it programatticly. First create a window the size of the screen (see GetSystemMetrics()). Make the window a popup window, and set the extended properties to "ALWAYS ON TOP."

DEVMODE dmScreenSettings;  memset(&dmScreenSettings,0,sizeof(DEVMODE));  dmScreenSettings.dmSize=sizeof(dmScreenSettings);  dmScreenSettings.dmPelsWidth=width;  dmScreenSettings.dmPelsHeight=height;  dmScreenSettings.dmBitsPerPel=bits;//16,24,32  dmScreenSettings.dmFields=DM_BITSPERPEL|DM_PELSWIDTH|                             DM_PELSHEIGHT;  if(ChangeDisplaySettings(&dmScreenSettings,CDS_FULLSCREEN)!=DISP_CHANGE_SUCCESSFUL)  {/*an error bla bla.....your video card is ....*/}*to return to the previus settings use:ChangeDisplaySettings(NULL,0);
