ASP.NET Web Api 2, Ninject, OWIN, and IIS - iis

Question

I'm using Ninject for dependency injection in my ASP.NET Web Api 2 project. Everything is working perfectly locally through Visual Studio and IIS Express, but when I deploy to IIS, the dependency's are not resolved. Below is my Startup.cs
public partial class Startup
{
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
var webApiConfiguration = new HttpConfiguration();
webApiConfiguration.EnableCors();
webApiConfiguration.SuppressDefaultHostAuthentication();
webApiConfiguration.Filters.Add(new HostAuthenticationFilter(OAuthDefaults.AuthenticationType));
webApiConfiguration.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
app.UseNinjectMiddleware(CreateKernel).UseNinjectWebApi(webApiConfiguration);
ConfigureAuth(app);
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
app.Run(async context =>
{
await context.Response.WriteAsync("Welcome to Web API");
});
}
private static IKernel CreateKernel()
{
var kernel = new StandardKernel();
kernel.Bind<Func<IKernel>>().ToMethod(ctx => () => new Bootstrapper().Kernel);
kernel.Bind<IHttpModule>().To<HttpApplicationInitializationHttpModule>();
kernel.Load(new CourseModule(), new DataPullModule(), new DegreeModule(), new ResponseModule(), new RestSharpModule());
return kernel;
}
}
The error I get is when trying to access one of my controllers is below:
An error occurred when trying to create a controller of type 'DegreeController'. Make sure that the controller has a parameterless public constructor.
Here is my constructor for the DegreeController:
public DegreeController(IDegreeMapper degreeMapper, IDegreeRepository degreeRepository)
{
_degreeMapper = degreeMapper;
_degreeRepository = degreeRepository;
}
And here is the DegreeModule where I bind interfaces to classes.
public class DegreeModule : NinjectModule
{
public override void Load()
{
Bind<IDegreeController>().To<DegreeController>().InRequestScope();
Bind<IDegreeMapper>().To<DegreeMapper>().InRequestScope();
Bind<IDegreeRepository>().To<DegreeRepository>().InRequestScope();
Bind<IDegreeRatingCalculator>().To<DegreeRatingCalculator>().InRequestScope();
}
}

Answer 1

var kernel = CreateKernel();
app.UseNinjectMiddleware(() => kernel).UseNinjectWebApi(configuration);
