Server Controller at design time, and click "Ignore". Now save and recompile. Unless you were using the TimeOutURL property, no other conversion is required.

The TimeOutURL property changes to SessionTimeOutURL
The TimeOutURL property of the server controller changes its name to SessionTimeOutURL and is no longer of type string, but TIWFileReference.

Visual User Session
IntraWeb 7 introduces visual user session object. The user session object is created by the IntraWeb Project Wizard and it is in fact a Data Module. Some of the advantages of this approach are:

components needed by the user session can be added directly by dropping them on the form.
it can be used as a data module, and all the session management is done by the application.
new methods and members can be added to the user session, as before.

Previous user session objects are still compatible with IntraWeb 7, so there is no need of updating the
user session to the new type unless taking advantage of the new features is wanted.

Note: Although the new user session can function as a data module, when using data module pooling,
a data module is still created.
