Question

I\'m still a newbie at DI, and I am trying to understand if I am thinking of things the wrong way. I am working on a toy problem when I want to represent a Die object that has

You could use ConstructorArgument together with Kernel.Get in this particular situation. Here is full sample.

Module configuration

public class ExampleKernel : NinjectModule
{
    public override void Load()
    {
        Bind()
            .To();

        Bind()
            .ToSelf()
            .WithConstructorArgument("numSides", 6);
                           //  default value for numSides
    }
}

Resolving in code

var d6 = kernel.Get(); // default numSides value
var d20 = kernel.Get(new ConstructorArgument("numSides", 20)); // custom numSides

Assert.That(d6.NumSides == 6);
Assert.That(d20.NumSides == 20);
