best way to bind connection string constructor parameters?

[Daniel Schobel]

Hi all, I'm looking for advice on how best to bind a couple of connection strings which recur throughout my dependencies in ninject.

Currently I have:  

  Bind<IFoo>().To<SqlFoo>()

 .WithConstructorArgument("db1ConStr", db1ConnectionString)

 .WithConstructorArgument("db2ConStr",  db2ConnectionString);

  Bind<IBar>().To<SqlBar>()

 .WithConstructorArgument("db1ConStr", db1ConnectionString)

 .WithConstructorArgument("db2ConStr",  db2ConnectionString)

etc.

which obviously is not the most elegant code.

What the idiomatic way with ninject to bind the value of  db1ConnectionString to every constructor parameter named "db1ConStr"?

You could create an extension method for whatever To<T> returns which takes a ConnectionStrings object and then you'd be able to do:

  Bind<IFoo>().To<SqlFoo>().WithOurStandardConnectionStrings( connectionStrings);

Or you could (and I reckon its cleaner) 

Bind<IConnectionStrings>().To...

and then have SqlFoo and SqlBar ask for IConnectionStrings instead

(If you can't change the code for SqlFoo then dervive from them ones that do
