I am building a rest API with Web API2, Owin 3 and NInject Owinhost for my DI.
Using the example provided by NInject, by which I create an "HttpConfiguration" object and call the NInject extension methods in startup.cs, I get an error:
Error activating HttpConfiguration More than one matching bindings are available. Matching bindings: 1) binding from HttpConfiguration to method 2) self-binding of HttpConfiguration 3) binding from HttpConfiguration to constant value Activation path: 1) Request for HttpConfiguration
Suggestions: 1) Ensure that you have defined a binding for HttpConfiguration only once.
My code is as follow in Startup.cs:
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
Logger.Info("Entering Startup");
config = new HttpConfiguration();
ConfigureOAuth(app);
// Web API configuration and services
config.SuppressDefaultHostAuthentication();
config.Filters.Add(new HostAuthenticationFilter("Bearer"));
// Web API routes
config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new {id = RouteParameter.Optional}
);
var appXmlType =
config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.FirstOrDefault(
t => t.MediaType == "application/xml");
config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Remove(appXmlType);
app.UseNinjectMiddleware(CreateKernel);
app.UseNinjectWebApi(config);
app.UseCors(Microsoft.Owin.Cors.CorsOptions.AllowAll);
Logger.Info("Exiting Startup");
}
public static StandardKernel CreateKernel()
{
kernel = new StandardKernel();
kernel.Load(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
kernel.Bind<HttpConfiguration>().ToSelf().Named("TestHttpConfiguration");
return kernel;
}
The strange thing is when I refresh the page in the browser, the error goes, which leads me to believe that this happens at application startup only.
So I'm confused with this. Has anyone faced the same issue with it?
Thanks
Vincent
