How to move a window or form without titlebar

.Net Win 32 API Windows Forms
In my current project I had to implement move for a Form, which doesn’t have a title bar or FormBorderStyle property set to None. Instead of title bar I was using a Panel with background Image. Here is the code snippet.
public const int WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN = 0xA1;
public const int HT_CAPTION = 0x2;
[DllImportAttribute("user32.dll")]
public static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int Msg,
int wParam, int lParam);
[DllImportAttribute("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool ReleaseCapture();
private void TitlePanel_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
ReleaseCapture();
SendMessage(Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HT_CAPTION, 0);
}As it is WIN32 API call, you need to import System.Runtime.InteropServices namespace.
