Is Ninject MVC supposed to work with MVC 2 Preview? - asp.net-mvc

Question

I am running a MVC 2 Preview and this is my first time trying to use Ninject2 MVC
There error that I am continently getting is:
An error occurred when trying to create a controller of type 'MyMVC.Controllers.EventsController'. Make sure that the controller has a parameterless public constructor.
What I have in my Global.cs is this:
public class MvcApplication : NinjectHttpApplication
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.IgnoreRoute("elmah.axd");
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Root",
"",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }
);
}
protected override void OnApplicationStarted()
{
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
RegisterAllControllersIn(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
}
protected override IKernel CreateKernel()
{
return new StandardKernel(new ServiceModule());
}
}
internal class ServiceModule : NinjectModule
{
public override void Load()
{
Bind<IEventService>().To<EventService>();
Bind<IEventRepository>().To<EventRepository>();
}
}
And this is what my Controller looks like.
public class EventsController : Controller
{
private IEventService _eventService;
//
// GET: /Events/
public EventsController(IEventService eventService)
{
_eventService = eventService;
}
public ActionResult Index(string name)
{
return View(_eventService.GetEvent(name));
}
public ActionResult UpcomingEvents()
{
return View(_eventService.GetUpcomingEvents().Take(3).ToList());
}
}

I've not used Ninject, but I would assume you need to implement your own IControllerFactory. Until they update it to MVC 2. Then utilize that instead of RegisterAllControllersIn(..):
ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(new MyNinjectControllerFactory());
EDIT: Again, i'm not all that familiar with Ninject but this might work as a simple factory:
public class MyNinjectControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
{
protected override IController GetControllerInstance(Type controllerType)
{
return [Container].GetInstance(controllerType) as Controller;
}
}

At the risk of stating the obvious, you should try adding a parameterless constructor to your Events Controller.
public class EventsController : Controller
{
private IEventService _eventService;
//
// Parameterless constructor, so NInject will work
public EventsController() {}
//
// Regular constructor
public EventsController(IEventService eventService)
{
_eventService = eventService;
}
