a late answer but there is an alternative we can use example you have a form lets name it Form1

In Design View

• do not hide the border from the property menu do it in code

namespace Project
{
    public partial class Form1: Form
    {
            InitializeComponent();
             this.DoubleBuffered = true; //disable flickers
            this.Text = string.Empty;
            this.ControlBox = false;
            this.MaximizedBounds = Screen.FromHandle(this.Handle).WorkingArea;
    }

  //Drag Form
        [DllImport("user32.DLL", EntryPoint = "ReleaseCapture")]
        private extern static void ReleaseCapture();
        [DllImport("user32.DLL", EntryPoint = "SendMessage")]

        private extern static void SendMessage(System.IntPtr hWnd, int wMsg, int wParam, int lParam);
//mousedown on where ever u wanna use the moving of form function in
  private void topPanel_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            ReleaseCapture();
            SendMessage(this.Handle, 0x112, 0xf012, 0);
        }
}

now when you will run the code your form will look something like this:

when application is executed

now when u hold down your mouse at the pink bar and drag it around it should work.
