Can you run a VB application in full-screen?

I just want to ask: How do you get an application, using Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 express, to run in full screen mode. You know what I mean, like a game would but an application.

Is it possible? If not, tell me how and what I need to do it. Thanks.

The FormBorderStyle line is essential to show as full screen, so the top bar controls are not visible.

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
End Sub

In your Form_load add the following two lines:

Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

Obviously, you can place the code elsewhere than in form_load - and depending on your list of includes you may need more or less prepending.
