Have a look at the form's Region property or its TransparencyKey
property.

Set its FormBorderStyle property to None.

Regions are supported since Windows 95, nevertheless, transparency using
the TransparencyKey property is AFAIK only supported on Windows
2000/XP/2003.

If you want to create a form with a simple irregular shape (round
borders or something like this), I would create a region (for example
from a GraphicsPath) and set the form's Region property to this region.
