Get an instance of an object with Ninject

Question

I installed on my project Ninject.MVC3 via Nuget.

I read this article that to inject dependencies in my controllers, all you had to do was install Ninject, add my depend

Answer 1

The reason it works is because the ControllerFactory looks for DI and automatically adds it. If you want to get a specific instance you can do this:

private static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel) {
    kernel.Bind<ICoolObject>().To(CoolObject);
}

public ActionResult MyAction() {
    var myObject = 
        System.Web.Mvc.DependencyResolver.Current.GetService(typeof (ICoolObject));
}

Becareful though. This is done quite often with those new to Dependency Injection (myself included). The question is why do you need to do it this way?
