Bind generic Interface in Ninject - ninject

Question

So, I have dug for quite some time to find the answer for this with no luck.
What am I doing wrong?
Ninject throws an exception with this message:
Error activating IModelRepository{User}
No matching bindings are available, and the type is not self-bindable.
Here's my code:
I have a generic Interface:
public interface IModelRepository<T> where T: IModel
{
//interface stuff here
}
The concrete class is:
public UserRepository : IModelRepository<User>
{
public UserRepository(IDocumentStore documentStore, string databaseName)
{
//constructor code here
}
}
Ninject module Load():
public override void Load()
{
string databaseName = Properties.Settings.Default.DefaultDatabaseName;
Bind<IModelRepository<User>>()
.To<UserRepository>()
.WithConstructorArgument("documentStore", Kernel.Get<IDocumentStore>())
.WithConstructorArgument("databaseName", databaseName);
}
Ninject instantiation (this is where the exception occurs):
Kernel = new Ninject.StandardKernel(new DIModules.ModelRepositoryModule()
,new DIModules.DocumentStoreModule());
Here's the full stack trace:

Answer 1

.WithConstructorArgument("documentStore", Kernel.Get<IDocumentStore>())
You might want to change that to ctx=> Kernel.Get<IDocumentStore>(). The way you're calling it, you're creating objects during the module Load() - this should not be the casse - Moduel Load() methods should only Bind() stuff.
Also, don't have a dev env to hand but pretty sure there should be a way to let default provisioning take care of binding that ctor param to whatever DI would resolve.
(If none of the above makes sense, you'll definitely need to give a more complete stacktrace than you have)

Answer 2

Try to change order of modules, seems order is important, because IModelRepository<User> does not know about IModel and User before you bind them:
Kernel = new Ninject.StandardKernel(
new DIModules.DocumentStoreModule(),
new DIModules.ModelRepositoryModule());
This works well for me, and here is full sample: http://pastebin.com/2TjBqAwc
