SignalR 2 Dependency Injection with Ninject

Question

I have an existing MVC application that is using Dependency Injection with Ninject. I installed the Ninject.MVC3 nuget package and it creates a class called NinjectWebCommon

Answer 1

Have you tried adding the StockTickerHub itself to your kernel?

By default, SignalR uses Activator.CreateInstance to construct Hubs without any constructor arguments. If you want to inject your own dependencies into a Hub, you can do so by registering the Hub with SignalR's dependency resolver.

https://github.com/SignalR/SignalR/blob/2.0.1/src/Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Core/Hubs/DefaultHubActivator.cs#L28

If you want to get really creative, you can register your own IHubActivator instead of registering all of Hubs individually.

I go into more detail in how Hubs are created by default in this answer: SignalR with IoC (Castle Windsor) - which lifetime for hubs?
