as far as i know, it's not possible. OutSystems however gives you the possibility to convert all your apps into .net code when you decide to stop with the platform.

In theory, you could take the codebehind dll of the module and wrap it inside an extension. But I don't see why you would want to do that.

Thank you for your reply.
How do I get the code behind the module's dll and wrap it inside the extension?

This is because I am curious about what kind of code the module created by OutSystems is created and want to check the details.

Hello S S.

I think you are looking for the wrong answer to your question. You don't want to turn a module into an extension. You want to see the generated code.

In very broad terms a module is meant to interact with people (sites and apps) while an extension is meant to interact with machines (databases, external libraries). Both generate code.

The official way is: https://success.outsystems.com/Support/Archive/11/The_Detach_Process

But this not prettier than reading decompiled code.

The generated code is optimized for processing and although it is "computer smart", it is not "human smart" so it can be hard to read. Trust the machine.
