NInject kernel GetAll returns empty - ninject

Question

I've two projects (class library projects) which implement one interface:
The first one:
public class MailPlugin : Extensibility.IProductorPlugin
{
...
}
The second one:
public class FileSystemPlugin : Extensibility.IProductorPlugin
{
...
}
Extensibility.IProductorPlugin, is a interface of a third project:
namespace Extensibility
{
public delegate void NotifyDigitalInputs(List<Domain.DigitalInput> digital_inputs);
public interface IProductorPlugin
{
String Name { get; }
String Description { get; }
String Version { get; }
List<Domain.Channel> AvailableChannels { get; }
IEnumerable<Guid> TypeGuids { get; }
event NotifyDigitalInputs OnDigitalInputs;
}
}
In my composition root, I've created this class:
namespace UI
{
public sealed class NinjectServiceLocator
{
private static readonly Lazy<NinjectServiceLocator> lazy = new Lazy<NinjectServiceLocator>(() => new NinjectServiceLocator());
public static NinjectServiceLocator Instance { get { return lazy.Value; } }
public Ninject.IKernel Kernel { get; private set; }
private NinjectServiceLocator()
{
using (var k = this.Kernel = new Ninject.StandardKernel())
{
k.Bind(b => b.FromAssembliesMatching("*")
.SelectAllClasses()
.InheritedFrom(typeof(Extensibility.IProductorPlugin))
.BindAllInterfaces()
);
}
}
}
}
So, when I want to look for all plugins, I just perform this:
protected void initialize()
{
foreach (Extensibility.IProductorPlugin productor_plugin in NinjectServiceLocator.Instance.Kernel.GetAll(typeof(Extensibility.IProductorPlugin)))
{
using (var channel_tile = new DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Views.WindowsUI.Tile() { Group = "Plugin Channels" })
{
foreach (Domain.Channel channel in productor_plugin.AvailableChannels)
{
channel_tile.Elements.Add(new DevExpress.XtraEditors.TileItemElement() { Text = channel.Name });
channel_tile.Elements.Add(new DevExpress.XtraEditors.TileItemElement() { Text = channel.Description });
this.tileContainer1.Items.Add(channel_tile);
}
}
}
}
However, GetAll returns anything.
What am I doing wrong?
I'll appreciate a lot your help.
Thanks for all.

try removing the using() from around the Kernel instantiation. a using will dispose the object at the end of the scope, which we don't want for a kernel.
using (var k = this.Kernel = new Ninject.StandardKernel())
