Ninject + Bind generic repository

Question

I\'m trying to Bind a generic IRepository<> interface to my generic Repository<> - however it always return null?

I have tried various things like:

<         


        

Answer 1

See my answer on MVC3 Controller constructor + Ninject.

Generic Binding works correctly in Ninject. Try using a parameterless constructor in Repository. I think the problem is there.

Answer 2

Bind(typeof(IRepository<>)).To(typeof(Repository<>));

This is the correct syntax for binding an open generic.

If you are receiving null back when requesting IRepository< of whatever >, then there may be some other problem in an area of code you haven't shared.
