I am new to WF and wonder if using Activity Library and Activity Designer Library projects are optional or required?<br />
<br />
If they are optional, what considerations would make me want to use them in an MVC3 app? <br />
<br />
And for an MVC3 app, would I need to use a WF WCF Workflow Service App to host the logic as a web service? Or is that an optional way to host this?<br />

WF: Using Activity Library and Activity Designer Library projects?

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
