How to use DI container when OwinStartup

Question

It\'s a Web API 2 project.

When I implement DI using Ninject, I got an error message

An error occurred when trying to create a controller of type \'TokenCont

Update

This is now more straight forward thanks to the Nuget package Ninject.Web.WebApi.OwinHost:

Startup.cs

using Ninject;
using Ninject.Web.Common.OwinHost;
using Ninject.Web.WebApi.OwinHost;
using Owin;
using System.Web.Http;

namespace Xxx
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            var config = new HttpConfiguration();
            config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("DefaultApi", "myservice/{controller}/{id}", new { id = RouteParameter.Optional });

            app.UseNinjectMiddleware(CreateKernel);
            app.UseNinjectWebApi(config);
        }
    }
    public static IKernel CreateKernel()
    {
        var kernel = new StandardKernel();

        kernel.Bind().To();
        return kernel;
    }
}

I have updated the wiki accordingly.
