Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 supports Universal library projects in C++, be it in the form of a static .lib library, dynamic .dll library or a Windows Runtime Component, .winmd. Universal libraries can be used in modern Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.1 applications alike.

Other platforms, such as the traditional .NET desktop, Silverlight or Xamarin cannot be targeted with the Universal libraries.

If you want to be able to target any of these other platforms, you would need to fall back on regular Portable Class Library, PCL, projects. Visual Studio currently supports PCL projects written in C#, Visual Basic and F#.
