I am using Ninject MVC3(version 3.0.0.0) for my ASP.Net MVC3 application installed using NuGet Package for Dependency Injection.
Here is the Global.asax change:
public class MvcApplication : NinjectHttpApplication
{
public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
{
filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
}
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.IgnoreRoute("favicon.ico");
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*favicon}", new { favicon = @"(.*/)?favicon.ico(/.*)?" });
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
}
protected override IKernel CreateKernel()
{
var kernel = new StandardKernel();
kernel.Bind<Func<IKernel>>().ToMethod(ctx => () => new Bootstrapper().Kernel);
kernel.Bind<IHttpModule>().To<HttpApplicationInitializationHttpModule>();
RegisterServices(kernel);
return kernel;
}
protected override void OnApplicationStarted()
{
base.OnApplicationStarted();
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
/// <summary>
/// Load your modules or register your services here!
/// </summary>
/// <param name="kernel">The kernel.</param>
private static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel)
{
kernel.Bind<IUserRepository>().To<UserRepository>();
kernel.Bind<IUserService>().To<UserService>();
kernel.Bind<ICommonRepository>().To<CommonRepository>();
kernel.Bind<ICommonService>().To<CommonService>();
}
}
But it gives the following Error though i have the parameterless Constructor for my HomeController:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

UPDATE:
Below is the Code from the HomeController:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
#region Declaration
public ICommonService _commonService { get; set; }
#endregion
#region Constructor
public HomeController()
{
}
public HomeController(ICommonService commonService)
{
this._commonService = commonService;
}
#endregion
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
Constructor of CommonService and CommonRepository:
public class CommonService : ICommonService
{
#region Declaration
private readonly ICommonRepository _repository;
#endregion
#region Constructor
public CommonService(ICommonRepository repository)
{
this._repository = repository;
}
#endregion
public class CommonRepository : ICommonRepository
{
#region Declaration
private DBContainer _context = new DBContainer();
#endregion
#region Constructor
public CommonRepository()
{
}
#endregion
Am i missing any other Reference here?
This is how constructor selection in Ninject works:
In your case Ninject is most probably not selecting the parameterless constructor because it believes he knows how to resolve ICommonService. Please try to decorate your parameterless constructor with [Inject] attribute if you want Ninject to use it or make further investigation why ICommonService isn't being resolved.
If you recently retargeted the MVC application from .NET 4.0 to 4.5 or the other way around, then you get the exact same symptom. It is fixed by referencing the correct .NET version DLLs for the target.
If you are using the Ninject, Ninject.MVC3 and Ninject.Web.Common nugets then you will find all .NET targets there.
