Ninject with a base controller?

Question

I am wondering how do you do constructor inject with ninject 2.0 when you have a base controller?

I have

        private readonly IBaseService baseService;

        public BaseController(IBaseService baseService)
        {
            this.baseService = baseService;

        }


Bind<IBaseService>().To<BaseService>();


public class OtherController : BaseController
{
        private readonly IOtherService otherService;

        public OtherController(IOtherService otherService, IBaseService baseService) 
        {
            this.otherService = otherService;
        }

Yet I get

'BaseController' does not contain a constructor that takes 0 arguments

Answer 1

You need to inject both services into your OtherController and call the base constructor passing the service it requires:

public OtherController(IOtherService otherService, IBaseService baseService)
    : base(baseService) { this.otherService = otherService; }

Answer 2

You'd have to chain through to the base controller, no?

public OtherController(IOtherService otherService, IBaseService baseService) : base(baseService)
