dynamic_pointer_cast unexpected behaviour

I'm building a factory class where I need to return a unique_ptr to a BaseClass. The returned pointer is made of a DerivedClass object that is converted to a shared pointer using make_shared and then converted to the desired BaseClass pointer as:

#include "BaseClass.h"
#include "DerivedClass.h"

std::unique_ptr<BaseClass> WorkerClass::DoSomething()
{

      DerivedClass derived;

      // Convert object to shared pointer
      auto pre = std::make_shared<DerivedClass>(derived);

      // Convert ptr type to returned type
      auto ret = std::dynamic_pointer_cast<BaseClass>(ptr);

      // Return the pointer
      return std::move(ret);
}

I'm getting this compiler error on std::move

I'm using VS2012.

Why is it using something different than declared (std::unique_ptr<BaseClass>) ?

Is dynamic_pointer_cast not returning a std::unique_ptr<BaseClass> to ret ?

std::shared_ptr is not convertible to unique_ptr.

In your case, you just want the following:

std::unique_ptr<BaseClass> WorkerClass::DoSomething()
      return std::make_unique<DerivedClass>(/*args*/);
}
