| | Workflow Studio is built on Workflow Foundation and shares the same underlying architecture. The same activity libraries that you build for Workflow Foundation can be used within Workflow Studio. This means that you can access all the resources and samples Microsoft has available. |

| |  | Workflow Studio extends Workflow Foundation and some of the functionality in the Designer requires you to code your activity library to target our platform. We have developed some templates for Visual Studio that allow you to easily build activity libraries to target Workflow Studio. |

| | Workflow Studio extends Workflow Foundation and some of the functionality in the Designer requires you to code your activity library to target our platform. We have developed some templates for Visual Studio that allow you to easily build activity libraries to target Workflow Studio. This SDK contains a wizard to automate converting existing PowerShell libraries and a set of templates to build activities not based on PowerShell. |

| | h4. PowerShell Converter |
| | |
| | If you have a PowerShell snap-in that you would like to use in Workflow Studio as an activity library, our PowerShell Converter (a wizard and templates) will help automate the process. Our wizard inspects the snap-in and lists all of the cmdlets available. After you select the cmdlets you want to use, the wizard generates a project with one activity per cmdlet from the templates. This automated process does a pretty good job of inspecting the cmdlet parameters and converting them, but you will want to look through the parameters and the validation logic before you deploy. |
| | |
| | h4. Standard Templates |
| | |
| | If you want to build an activity library that targets Workflow Studio and does not use PowerShell, our basic Activity Library Project and Item templates help you get started. They set up the necessary project references and generate sample code that is heavily commented with the various parameter and validation options. |
