C# creating a form for given size

I want to draw a rectangle on the screen. I guess the most appropriate way is use a form without boarder. 

Form frm = new Form();
frm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
frm.Location = new Point(GlobalPosX, GlobalPosY);
frm.Size = new Size(101, 30);
frm.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;
frm.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None;
frm.Show();

The created from is not as the given size. It's size is similar to the window having boarder. The displayed window is bit larger as I given and the position is also moved little bit upper and left. Is there another way to achieve my goal?

Use the ClientSize property instead of Size:

frm.ClientSize = new Size(101,30);

Drawing C# graphics without using Windows Forms

That like talks about making a border-less window. From there, just use the Graphics object to draw whatever you'd like
