Can't get value of Ninject ConstructorArgument (passed in as parameter to kernel.Get)

Question

Having trouble getting the value of a ConstructorArgument parameter passed to kernel.Get(). I want to use the parameter\'s value to determine which of two string values will

Answer 1

I needed to use ToMethod() to get access to the appropriate context.

Bind().ToMethod(
    ctx => {
        var idNum = ctx.Parameters.First(p => p.Name == "idNum")
            .GetValue(ctx, null) as string
        ;

        if (idNum == 2) {
            return new DBProviderB(new EF_DBEntities(
                ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["EF_DB_b_conn1"]
            .ToString()));
        } else {
            return new DBProviderB(new EF_DBEntities(
                ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["EF_DB_b_conn2"]
            .ToString()));
        }
    };
);

//later...
var db = kernel.Get(
    new Ninject.Parameters.Parameter("idNum", idNum, true)
);
