setting form size to some less value but still it is coming with the standard

To be able to set the form's Size and Location properties and have
them take effect, you must also set the StartPosition property to
FormStartPosition.Manual before you show the form.

Hi,

I am setting the form size as like this

Form aForm = new Form();
aForm.BackColor = Color.WhiteSmoke;
aForm.Location = new Point(100, 100);
aForm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
aForm.Size = new Size(10,10);
aForm.AutoSize = true;
aForm.ClientSize = new Size(10, 10);
aForm.ControlBox = false;
aForm.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle;
