How do I make a WinForms app go Full Screen

Question

I have a WinForms app that I am trying to make full screen (somewhat like what VS does in full screen mode).

Currently I am setting FormBorderStyle to <

You can use the following code to fit your system screen and task bar is visible.

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {   
        // hide max,min and close button at top right of Window
        this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
        // fill the screen
        this.Bounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds;
    }

No need to use:

    this.TopMost = true;

That line interferes with alt+tab to switch to other application. ("TopMost" means the window stays on top of other windows, unless they are also marked "TopMost".)
