I have created a Sitefinity MVC4 project, however when I try to use Ninject MVC4 to use IOC, I get the following error. The same example works fine in a regular MVC project

 

Error activating ICommonFacadeWrapper
No matching bindings are available, and the type is not self-bindable.
Activation path:
  2) Injection of dependency ICommonFacadeWrapper into parameter wrapper of constructor of type HomeController
  1) Request for HomeController

Suggestions:
  1) Ensure that you have defined a binding for ICommonFacadeWrapper.
  2) If the binding was defined in a module, ensure that the module has been loaded into the kernel.
  3) Ensure you have not accidentally created more than one kernel.
  4) If you are using constructor arguments, ensure that the parameter name matches the constructors parameter name.
  5) If you are using automatic module loading, ensure the search path and filters are correct.​

Hi Narasimha,

You can check how to use Ninject with Sitefinity here.

I have created an MVC widget controller using a service loaded with Ninject.
I have the following service and controller:
Service:

Copy Code
public class NewsItemModelsService : INewsItemModelsService
...

Controller:
Copy Code
[Inject]
public NewsWidgetCustomController(INewsItemModelsService modelsService)
    this.ModelsService = modelsService;

Ninject factory:
Copy Code
using Ninject;
using Ninject.Modules;
using SitefinityWebApp.Mvc.Models;
using System;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend.Mvc.Infrastructure.Controllers;
 
namespace SitefinityWebApp.Mvc
    public class NinjectControllerFactory : FrontendControllerFactory
    
        private IKernel ninjectKernel;
 
        /// <summary>
        /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="NinjectControllerFactory"/> class.
        /// </summary>
        public NinjectControllerFactory()
        
            this.ninjectKernel = new StandardKernel(new InterfaceMappings());
        
 
        protected override IController GetControllerInstance(System.Web.Routing.RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
        
            if (controllerType == null)
            
                return null;
            
 
            var resolvedController = this.ninjectKernel.Get(controllerType);
            IController controller = resolvedController as IController;
 
            return controller;
        
    
 
    public class InterfaceMappings : NinjectModule
    
        /// <summary>
        /// Loads the module into the kernel.
        /// </summary>
        public override void Load()
        
            Bind<INewsItemModelsService>().To<NewsItemModelsService>();
        
    

Factory init, notice it is on application bootstrapped:
Copy Code
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
       
           Bootstrapper.Bootstrapped += Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped;      
       
 
      protected  void Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped(object sender, EventArgs e)
       
           ObjectFactory.Container.RegisterType<ISitefinityControllerFactory, NinjectControllerFactory>(new ContainerControlledLifetimeManager());
           var factory = ObjectFactory.Resolve<ISitefinityControllerFactory>();
           ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(factory);
       

You can put the Inject attribute to the constructor you want to inject with parameters. Otherwise, the order is the following:
  1. Constructors marked with [Inject]
  2. Construtors with the most parameter
  3. Default contructor

Hi Narasimha,

I doubt the error you are receiving is connected with the Ninject sample. It is an assembly references error. Please, check the referenced Telerik.Sitefinity version, as well as, from where it is read - the project bin folder or from nuget packages.

I have the same problem on my project, after changing the Telerik references from /bin folder to Nuget packages.

The oddest thing is that if I comment the NinjectControllerFactory that inherits from FrontendController Factory it builds successfully the solution.

The error seams to be thrown by OpenAccess enhacer.exe

I'm using Sitefinity Version=8.0.5710.0.  Have no idea why it needs Version=8.0.5700.0. There is no reference to it throughout the project, neither in web.config

This is my error:

Hello Vladimir,

Please, try resolving the issue using a binding redirect:

Actually, sitefinity never calls GetControllerInstance method. I still did not find how to make any container to work correctly  within sitefinity. 

Posted by Community Admin on 13-Apr-2016 00:00

Hello Kyrylo,

You still have to add the ninject module registration:

        protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        
            Bootstrapper.Bootstrapped += Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped;
        
 
        protected void Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped(object sender, EventArgs e)
        
            // DI binding
            ObjectFactory.Container.RegisterType<ISitefinityControllerFactory, NinjectControllerFactory>(new ContainerControlledLifetimeManager());
            var factory = ObjectFactory.Resolve<ISitefinityControllerFactory>();
            ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(factory);
        
 
...
public class NinjectControllerFactory: FrontendControllerFactory
    
         private IKernel ninjectKernel;
 
         public NinjectControllerFactory()
         
             ninjectKernel = Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend.FrontendModule.Current.DependencyResolver;
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IAuthorService>().To<AuthorService>();
         
 
         protected override IController GetControllerInstance(System.Web.Routing.RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
         
             if (controllerType == null)
             
                 return null;
             
 
             var resolvedController = this.ninjectKernel.Get(controllerType);
             IController controller = resolvedController as IController;
 
             return controller;
            
    

Hope this helps.

Hi Thank you for the code.

I was able to make this work by switching the registration from

            Bootstrapper.Initialized += (obj, ev) =>                              if (ev.CommandName != "Bootstrapped") return;
          -- do the registration 
to

 

Bootstrapper.Bootstrapped += (obj, ev) =>  
  -- do the registration

Thanks a lot.

Cheers.
J

Hi Balu,

What is the exception and stack trace that you get? The code in the Global application class seems correct.

Hi Nikola,

I was getting below exception message.


An exception of type 'Ninject.ActivationException' occurred in Ninject.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Error activating ICorticonFormModel

No matching bindings are available, and the type is not self-bindable.

Activation path:

  1) Request for ICorticonFormModel



Suggestions:

  1) Ensure that you have defined a binding for ICorticonFormModel.

  2) If the binding was defined in a module, ensure that the module has been loaded into the kernel.

  3) Ensure you have not accidentally created more than one kernel.

  4) If you are using constructor arguments, ensure that the parameter name matches the constructors parameter name.

  5) If you are using automatic module loading, ensure the search path and filters are correct.

Thanks,
Balu

Hello,

You do not have the Bootstrapped event attached to:

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        
            Bootstrapper.Bootstrapped += Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped;

Hi Nikola,

Thank you. I have attached the Bootstrap event in my  Global.ascx.cs file.


protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
       
            Telerik.Sitefinity.Abstractions.Bootstrapper.Initialized += Bootstrapper_Initialized;
       

Thanks,
Balu

Posted by Community Admin on 12-Jul-2016 00:00

Hello Balu,

In your case, you need to attach to both events, since you execute code in both:
   Telerik.Sitefinity.Abstractions.Bootstrapper.Initialized += Bootstrapper_Initialized;
and
Bootstrapper.Bootstrapped += Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped;

In the current implementation the Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped handler where the Ninject factory is registered is not executed at all.

Hi ,

i am getting error with ninject when sitefinity upgarded from 6.0 to 9.2 

 

Posted by Community Admin on 23-Jun-2017 00:00

did you happen to resolve this? I'm trying to use DI in SF 10 to pass a service dependency into my Feather Widget MVC Controllers, but I'm getting a similar error of 

No matching bindings are available, and the type is not self-bindable.

the documentation I've been able to find on this is sparse and inconsistent, anyone else been able to get DI to work with SF 10? Either with Ninject, Autofac, or Unity (all of which are apparently present!)

thanks

Hi,

I am new to Sitefinity.  I am trying to deploy an old sitefinity site on another system and am getting the following runtime error:

Resolution of the dependency failed, type = "Telerik.Sitefinity.Mvc.ISitefinityControllerFactory", name = "(none)". Exception occurred while: Calling constructor LendNationSitefinity.NinjectControllerFactory(). Exception is: NullReferenceException - Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ----------------------------------------------- At the time of the exception, the container was: Resolving LendNationSitefinity.NinjectControllerFactory,(none) (mapped from Telerik.Sitefinity.Mvc.ISitefinityControllerFactory, (none)) Calling constructor LendNationSitefinity.NinjectControllerFactory()

How do I resolve the above error?  Is this because of a missing library?
