Using ninject dependecyResolver for both MVC and WebAPI - asp.net-mvc-4

Question

I have created and MVC 4 web application and decided to use web api in this app.
I'm using ninject dependency resolver for MVC web app. and now I want to use this ninject dependency resolver for web api.
but the problem raise here mvc IDependencyResolver namespace is: using System.Web.Mvc
and web api IDependencyResolver is using System.Web.Http.Dependencies
so how can I solve this issue?
finally I want something like this:
// Use the container and the NinjectDependencyResolver as
// application's resolver
var resolver = new NinjectDependencyResolver(container);
//Register Resolver for MVC
DependencyResolver.SetResolver(resolver);
//Register Resolver for Web Api
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = resolver;

Answer 1

There is a way to share same container between MVC and ASP.NET Web API.
You just need to implement both interfaces.
public class NinjectDependencyResolver : NinjectDependencyScope, IDependencyResolver, System.Web.Mvc.IDependencyResolver
{
private readonly IKernel kernel;
public NinjectDependencyResolver(IKernel kernel)
: base(kernel)
{
this.kernel = kernel;
}
public IDependencyScope BeginScope()
{
return new NinjectDependencyScope(this.kernel.BeginBlock());
}
}

Answer 2

There is a NuGet package that does this. Add the NInject, NInject.Web.Common, NInject.MVCx and WebApiContrib.IoC.Ninject NuGet packages to your project. A NInjectWebCommon class should have been created in the App_Start folder. Add your binding for your dependencies to the RegisterServices method. In the CreateKernel method after the RegisterServices(kernel) call, add the following line:
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = new NinjectResolver(kernel);
This will let you create the Ninject dependency resolver without having to create your own override class. Easy, right?
