Ninject - resource not found.

Question

I get an error

Resource is not found.

When I try to implement Ninject in my MVC-3 application. It seems that the problem comes from Global.asax during CreateKernel()

 #region Inversion of Control protected override IKernel CreateKernel() { return Container; } static IKernel _container; public static IKernel Container { get { if (_container == null) { _container = new StandardKernel(new SiteModule()); } return _container; } } internal class SiteModule : NinjectModule { public override void Load() { bool MOCKDB = true; //MOCKDB = false;//Stop Mocking if (MOCKDB) { //Set up mock bindings Bind<iItem>().To<LeadServiceMock>(); } else { //Set up real bindings. Bind<iItem>().To<LeadService>(); } } } #endregion 

If I select the code above and go back to System.Web.HttpApplication , then everything will start working again.

 public class MvcApplication : NinjectHttpApplication//:System.Web.HttpApplication { 

I took this code from a previous implementation that I wrote and still works. If I go through debugging

 protected override IKernel CreateKernel() { return Container; } 

I get an error in both the working program and this broken one:

I suspect that I was mistaken in SiteModule . What am I doing wrong?

Replace Application_Start() with OnApplicationStarted()

  //protected void Application_Start() //{ // AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas(); // RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters); // RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); //} protected override void OnApplicationStarted() { AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas(); RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters); RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); }
