How to get GlassMapper work with Ninject

[Dirk Schäfauer]

Hi,

I currently try to get GlassMapp work with Ninject DI. But I get an error:

Server Error in '/' Application. 

The given key was not specified in the dictionary.

My NinjectWebCommon in App_Start looks like this:

using System;
using System.Web;
using Glass.Mapper.Sc;
using Glass.Mapper.Sc.CastleWindsor;
using Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.DynamicModuleHelper;
using Ninject;
using Ninject.Syntax;
using Ninject.Web.Common;
using SeitenKern;
using SeitenKern.Infrastructure.DependencyInjection.Modules;
using Config = Glass.Mapper.Sc.CastleWindsor.Config;


[assembly: WebActivatorEx.PreApplicationStartMethod(typeof(NinjectWebCommon), "Start")]
[assembly: WebActivatorEx.ApplicationShutdownMethodAttribute(typeof(NinjectWebCommon), "Stop")]


namespace SeitenKern
{
    public static class NinjectWebCommon
    {
        private static readonly Bootstrapper Bootstrapper = new Bootstrapper();


        /// <summary>
        /// Starts the application
        /// </summary>
        public static void Start()
        {
            DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule(typeof(OnePerRequestHttpModule));
            DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule(typeof(NinjectHttpModule));
            Bootstrapper.Initialize(CreateKernel);
        }
       
        /// <summary>
        /// Stops the application.
        /// </summary>
        public static void Stop()
        {
            Bootstrapper.ShutDown();
        }
       
        /// <summary>
        /// Creates the kernel that will manage your application.
        /// </summary>
        /// <returns>The created kernel.</returns>
        private static IKernel CreateKernel()
        {
            var kernel = new StandardKernel(new SeitenKernModule());
            try
            {
                kernel.Bind<Func<IKernel>>().ToMethod(ctx => () => new Bootstrapper().Kernel);
                kernel.Bind<IHttpModule>().To<HttpApplicationInitializationHttpModule>();


                RegisterServices(kernel);
                return kernel;
            }
            catch
            {
                kernel.Dispose();
                throw;
            }
        }


        /// <summary>
        /// Load your modules or register your services here!
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="kernel">The kernel.</param>
        private static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel)
        {
           
        }        
    }
}

and the module itself looks like this:

using Glass.Mapper.Sc;
using Ninject.Modules;


namespace SeitenKern.Infrastructure.DependencyInjection.Modules
{
    public class SeitenKernModule : NinjectModule
    {
        public override void Load()
        {
            Bind<ISitecoreContext>().To<SitecoreContext>();
        }
    }
}

I try to use the SitecoreContext in my MasterPage:

using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using Glass.Mapper.Sc;
using Ninject;
using Ninject.Web.Common;
using SeitenKern.Infrastructure.Controls;
using SeitenKern.Models;
using SeitenKern.SitecoreContrib;
using Sitecore.Data;
using Sitecore.Links;
using Sitecore.Platform;
using Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls;


namespace SeitenKern.layouts.SeitenKern
{
    public partial class SeitenKernBase : BasePage
    {
        [Inject]
        public ISitecoreContext SitecoreContext { get; set; }


        public HomePage HomePageModel { get; set; }


        protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnLoad(e);


            var kernel = new Bootstrapper().Kernel;
            kernel.Inject(this);


            HomePageModel = SitecoreContext.GetCurrentItem<HomePage>();
        }
    }
}

Could anyone advice what I am doing wrong?

I tested it with a custom Interface and Implementation and everything works fine, so module is loaded as expected. I'm also not able to debug the error.
