Question

I have a single controller that I want to use for CRUD operations on two different entities which implement the same interface. I\'d like for Ninject to give it a different

Answer 1

The following worked for me, Getting A Specific value from a route

kernel.Bind<IRepo>().ToMethod(ctx => 
{
    var a = HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["RouteDateValue"]
    if (a != null)
    {
        return new RepoA(a);
    }

    return new RepoB();
})

Answer 2

That's usually a design smell but you could define the binding like this:

kernel.Bind<IRepo>().ToMethod(ctx => 
{
    var a = HttpContext.Current.Request["a"];
    if (a == "b")
    {
        return new RepoA();
    }

    return new RepoB();
}).InRequestScope();
