Hey guys,

does anyone of you know if it is possible to downgrade a module, which is written in AL code (from BC) so that you can get the module in CAL code?

I know this is the non-typical way^^, but I would great to know more about it.

So if you know anything about it, I would be happy if you will share your knowledge here.

Thank you ;)

    I hope you mean BC 15 version then AFAIK there are no tools which convert AL to CAL.

    may be you have to manually add all code.

    Ok, but what happens to objects like HttpClient? In AL we can use them, but how can I use them in CAL code?

    c/al and al are quite similar, so manual conversion should be possible.

    for special al classes like httpclient you can use according dotnet classes.

    for httpclient: docs.microsoft.com/.../system.net.http.httpclient
