How to use Ninject bootstrapper in WebApi OwinHost Startup?

Question

I am migrating from IIS WebAPI to OwinHost. Utilizing the latest pre-release versions of nuget packages, I successfully used instructions here:

In addition to Olif's post:

1. install-package ninject.extensions.conventions

2. In your startup class add: using Ninject.Extensions.Conventions;

3. Instead of manually binding:

 public static IKernel CreateKernel()
     {
         var kernel = new StandardKernel();
         //Create the bindings
         kernel.Bind().To ProductRepository ();
         return kernel;
     }

You can now do:

kernel.Bind(x =>
                {
                    x.FromThisAssembly()
                    .SelectAllClasses()
                    .BindDefaultInterface();
                });

This will look through your assembly, and do the binding automatically.
