Answer 1

If you're following the Pro ASP.NET MVC 5, follow these steps to resolve the issue:

1. In your project tree in VS, right-click References and go to Manage NuGet Packages.
2. Go to Online, nuget.org and search for ninject.
3. Install Ninject, Ninject.Web.Common and Ninject.MVC5 (the book says to install MVC3).
4. In the Manage NuGet Packages menu (from step 1), go to Updates, nuget.org.
5. Update all modules, especially Microsoft ASP.NET MVC.
