For this specific case probably not. The AuthType was introduced quite recently so changing is should be quite harmless. But in general I think that what I suggest could be useful when you made some changes and the component automatically convert the old properties values into the new one. Otherwise the old value will lost. > Working application code must be slightly > adjusted anyway, one rule you learn in the first VCL lessons is > to open any form of a project when components have been updated. I don't think that lot of developers doing so :-) In particular you should reopen all forms of all projects. If you don't do it then when you reopen an old project and don't remember to reopen all forms then you will get an AV at run time. > Maybe usefull when the project has plenty of forms? This could be a good reason :-) As said this is a method that could be used to inizialize a new proerty with the value of old one. For example, what is the default of AuthTypes? If it is [] then if is was atNTLM the setting will lost. If it is all set then if it it was atNone the setting will completly different. As said, most probably it this specific case doesn't matter. But I think that it is important to know that exists a method to automatically convert an old property.
