The IControllerFactory 'SocialAssignment.WebUI.Repositories.NinjectControllerFactory' did not return a controller for the name 'AdminController'.

[Bo Gunnarson]

I have a problem, that ninject not return a controller, what can i do
about this fault?

[Remo Gloor]

I think you have to provide more information. I doubt someone can give
you an answer with that little information.

[Bo Gunnarson]

What info should i pass on? im new at this...

[Bo Gunnarson]

I can show you my Ninject controller factory

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Ninject;
using System.Web.Routing;
using Ninject.Modules;
using System.Configuration;

namespace SocialAssignment.WebUI.Repositories
{
public class NinjectControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
{
// A Ninject "kernel" is the thing that can supply object
instances
private IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel(new
MyAccountServices());
// ASP.NET MVC calls this to get the controller for each
request
protected override IController
GetControllerInstance(RequestContext context,
Type controllerType)
{
if (controllerType == null)
return null;
return (IController)kernel.Get(controllerType);
}
// Configures how abstract service types are mapped to
concrete implementations
private class MyAccountServices : NinjectModule
{
public override void Load()
{
Bind<IAccountRepository>()
.To<SqlAccountRepository>()
.WithConstructorArgument("connectionString",

ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["AppDb"].ConnectionString
);
}
}
}
}


And the controller it cant instantiate...

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using SocialAssignment.WebUI.Repositories;

namespace SocialAssignment.WebUI.Controllers
{
public class AdminController : Controller
{
private IAccountRepository accountList;

public AdminController(IAccountRepository somereporsitory)

{
accountList = somereporsitory;
}
//
// GET: /Admin/

public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}


public ActionResult showAccountsList()
{
var showAccountsList = accountList.Accounts;
return View("AccountsList");

Hi

Can you tell us the error message?
And have you considered to use Ninject.Web.Mvc instead of implementing
you own ControllerFactory?

[Bo Gunnarson]

Well, i haven't considered that, because it just have followed a
tutorial from a MVC 2 book, and there they use that.
But i also reference to the ninject.dll

Do you think if i use the Ninject.Web.Mvc i solving this problem?

The errormessage is:

Hi

At least you would get better error messages with the Ninject
extension in case the routing is wrong.

Can you debug and get the internal exception that occurs in the
controller factory? Or is it simply that the given type is null. In
that case it is not a Ninject problem but your routing is wrong.
