Ninject And Connection Strings

Question

I am very new to Ninject and am trying Ninject 2 with MVC and Linq. I have a SqlProductRepository class and all I want to know is what's the best way of passing the connectionstring in the constructor if I am injecting the Repository object in the controller.

public class SqlProductRepository:IProductRepository
{
    private Table<Product> productsTable;

    public SqlProductRepository(string connectionString)
    {
      productsTable = (new DataContext(connectionString)).GetTable<Product>();   
    }

    public IQueryable<Product> Products
    {
        get { return productsTable; }
    }
}

This is my ProductController class where I am injecting the Repository:

  public class ProductsController : Controller
{
    private int pageSize = 4;
    public int PageSize { get { return pageSize; } set { pageSize = value; } }  

    IProductRepository _productsRepository;

    [Inject]
    public ProductsController(IProductRepository productRepository)
    {
        _productsRepository = productRepository;
    }

    public ViewResult List(int page)
    {
        return View(_productsRepository.Products
                                       .Skip((page - 1) * pageSize)
                                       .Take(pageSize)
                                       .ToList()
                    );
    }
}

Can somebody please guide me regarding this?

You can set it up in your binding

_kernel.Bind<IProductRepository>()
       .To<SqlProductRepository>()
       .WithConstructorArgument("connectionString",yourConnectionString );
