IP Routing and SwitchPort

** If I create Vlan 10 and Vlan 20 and assign them appropriate ports.
then if I type IP Routing.
Will workstations on Vlan 10 be able to ping Vlan 20 ?
OR
Do I still  have  to create Vlan Interfaces   ?

** Let 's say I have Vlan 10 and Vlan 20 created. Nothing else created, I mean no Vlan Interfaces, No IP Routing commands typed.
I will select a port, i.e. : Interface fa0/11 (it is in Vlan 10)
and type : No Switchport
then type : Ip address 192.168.45.66
then type: No Shutdown.
What will interface fa0/11 be capable of doing ? I mean if I connect a workstation to fa0/11 , will the workstation be able to talk to every other workstation in Vlan 10 ?
If I connect fa0/11 to another switch port that is also configured with No Switchport and assigned IP address , what will this be able to do ? If I connect fa0/11 to Router port what will this be able to do…

by and large I am trying to know in what circumstances No Switchport is used

Any Help will be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Scenario with case1 and case2:
Let 's say we have an L3 switch with 2 VLANs , vlan10 and vlan20

Case1
-we create 2 SVIs one for vlan10 and one for vlan20, we assign 2 IPs, one for each SVI.
We type the command IP ROUTING at the global configuration of the switch.
We plug PC1 to vlan10 and PC2 to vlan20
Now PC1 should be able to communicate with  PC2

Case2
- We do not create SVIs,we just type IP ROUTING at the global configuration on the switch.
we select one interface on VLAN10 and type NO SWITCHPORT command then assign it IP Address.
we select one interface on VLAN20 and type NO SWITCHPORT command then assign it IP Address.
we connect PC1 to the port on VLAN10, (the port that we have configured with NO SWITCHPORT command and assigned IP Address).

we connect PC2 to the port on VLAN20, (the port that we have configured with NO SWITCHPORT command and assigned IP Address).
Now is PC1 going to be able to communicate with PC2 ?

Thanks
