Web API & Ninject

[Jimmy Sáenz]

Hi! What is the recommended extension for integrate the last version of ASP.NET Web API (2) with Ninject? I have Ninject.MVC3 and Ninject.Web.Common but i saw in StackOverflow that it's not appropriate. I find in Nuget this package https://www.nuget.org/packages/Ninject.Web.WebApi/3.0.0.2 but when i try to install it i receive a error: Already referencing a newer version of 'Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi'. Somebody can help me? thanks!

I'm facing the same problem - using Ninject in a MVC5 project that also carries WebAPI controllers. At this point it's an 'either/or' proposition; using 3.0.2-unstable-9018 I can get the WebAPI controller to light up but that causes my MVC5 controllers to toss: 'No parameterless constructor defined for this object.' I'm also installing the Log4Net extension - I suppose I should try the install without it - any sense that order of Install-Package has any effect? Should I consider a totally separate project for the WebAPI?

And to verify...the contents of NinjectWebCommon don't change with or without the WebAPI extension, right?

many thnks

just in case any of my install routine can shed any light - follows is what happens when I tear all Ninject out and re-apply:

I am using the latest unstable version of Ninject.Web.WebAPI (3.0.2-unstable-9018) in a project with MS Web API 5 but I am getting the following error:

Method 'get_RequestScope' in type 'Ninject.Web.WebApi.NinjectWebApiHttpApplicationPlugin' from assembly 'Ninject.Web.WebApi, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c7192dc5380945e7' does not have an implementation.

I am using the standard NinjectWebCommon.cs class in the App_Start folder. Any idea on what I am doing wrong? Am I supposed to modify the NinjectWebCommon.cs class?

Looking to followup regarding guidance on this. Multiple threads related to Ninject not working with WebAPI2 while it appears  Mr. Gloor expects it to work. Would be nice to see confirmation from others so we can try alternatives. My project is dead in the water without DI and I'd very much like to not transition to Unity.

many and respectful thanks!

1. Uninstall Ninject.Web.WebApi.

2. Uninstall Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.

3. Install this WebApi version:

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.WebHost -Version 5.0.1

4. Install this Ninject.Web.WebApi version:

Install-Package Ninject.Web.WebApi -Version 3.2.0

5. Correct web.config - probably System.Web will be in wrong version.

That works for me at this moment:)

I looked in the installed packages, and filtered by "ninject" but didn't see that first package there at all. 

As it happens, my project doesn't actually use the WebApi at all, so I would be quite happy to remove it altogether, but this didn't seem to help. I open the package manager window, and filtered by "webapi" and removed all packages that were shown. I had to delete the WebApiConfig.cs file as well. However, I still got the same problem.

Any ideas? This has wasted my entire afternoon, and I'm really not happy about it. I just want to get on, I don't want to have to fight with Ninject.

Hello,

There has been a large variance of guidance as to what is needed to utilize Ninject in WebApi2.  If I have created a WebAPI 2 project in Visual Studio 2013.  What  Ninject assemblies are required?  Also where should the bindings be placed?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Hi,

I've had numerous problems with getting it up and running. Here's what I did.

1. Uninstall all Ninject packages that you have associated with your project

2. Make sure your Api works without any dependency injection

3. Now include dependency injection (I used constructor injection) 

4. Test your api now and it should fail - (Not able to find default constructor)

5. Now install the following packages in order - 

• Ninject.MVC3
• Ninject.Web.WebApi

These 2 will resolve the other dependencies and also add the file 'NinjectWebCommon.cs' to the App_Start folder

6. Now in the NinjectWebCommon class add your dependency resolvers inside the 'RegisterServices' method. This is the only piece of code I had to hand craft

• kernel.Bind<IService>().To<ServiceImpl>();

Google did not help as the packages/methods have changed a lot recently.
