How to hide the word textbox border?

Question

Using C# I have succeeded in opening a word document and writing text to it. Now I want to insert a text box into the word document also by using c# code and I succeeded with the code I found elsewhere on internet. This was the code:-

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Shape textbox = oDoc.Shapes.AddTextbox(MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 0, 0, 70, 30); //MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationVertical
textbox.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Date";

It worked fine. But my problem, I would like to hide the default border of the text box with c# code. I tried searching for it but could not find one.

Could anyone help me? Thanks in Advance Unnikrishnan, India

Did you try `textbox.ShapeStyle = `? I would test it, but i do not have Word on my computer. — Trae Moore, Nov 16 '13 at 12:55
I tried for hours. However, at long last, I succeeded with the following code. textbox.Line.Visible = 0; or textbox.Line.Visible = MsoTriState.msoFalse. Surprising I found that such a simple information is not available on internet. — Unnikrishnan, Nov 17 '13 at 03:48

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Shape textbox = oDoc.Shapes.AddTextbox(MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 0, 0, 70, 30);`         
textbox.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = dateTimePicker1.Value.toShortDateString();`//this will insert a ms word textbox on ms word document.
textbox.Line.Visible = MsoTriState.msoFalse;` // this will hide the border or line of textbox.
textbox.TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphRight;` //this will align the text within the textbox to rthe right side of the textbox.

//In this oDoc is the document added. Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application word = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document oDoc = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document();

//I tried it with visual c# express 2010 and word 2007 and 2010 on different computers with operating system of Windows XP and Windows 7.
