Ninject error in WebAPI 2.1 - Make sure that the controller has a parameterless public constructor

Question

I have the following packages and their dependencies installed in my WebAPI project:

Ninject.Web.WebApi Ninject.Web.WebApi.OwinHost

Answer 1

This applies to older versions of Ninject, or if you are not using the auto-generated bootstrap code from Ninject.Web.WebApi.Webhost.

You are missing a dependency resolver, its a really basic implementation:

public class NinjectHttpDependencyResolver : IDependencyResolver, IDependencyScope
{
    private readonly IKernel _kernel;
    public NinjectHttpDependencyResolver(IKernel kernel)
    {
        _kernel = kernel;
    }
    public IDependencyScope BeginScope()
    {
        return this;
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        //Do nothing
    }

    public object GetService(Type serviceType)
    {
        return _kernel.TryGet(serviceType);
    }

    public IEnumerable
