How to create a WPF Window without a border that can be resized via a grip only?

by

If you set the AllowsTransparency property on the Window (even without setting any transparency values) the border disappears and you can only resize via the grip.

<Window
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Width="640" Height="480" 
    WindowStyle="None"
    AllowsTransparency="True"
    ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip">

    <!-- Content -->

</Window>
