Question

I feel like there is something obvious I’m missing here. I am trying to use ninject to create a class. The class accepts a single string parameter which is stored in Session of the HttpContext. How do I pass that parameter to this class?

The class looks like:

public class Manager : IManager
{
    public Manager(string a) { ... }
}

I have a custom Dependency Resolver that looks like:

public class NinjectDependencyResolver : IDependencyResolver
{
    IKernel kernel;
    public NinjectDependencyResolver()
    {
        kernel = new StandardKernel();
        Bind<IManager>().To<Manager>()
    }

    ...
}

A typical controller looks like:

public class ManagerController : Controller
{
    public ManagerController(IManager manager) { ... }
}

Answer 1

That the parameter is stored in the Session is relevant implementation detail and doesn’t belong into the Ninject configuration.

You should create a IManagerConfiguration interface that has a property for each config value for the manager and a Session Store implementation for that interface. Now you can add a simple binding for them and pass the interface to the managers constructor instead of the string.
