If you request an unbound object from NInject, then the default behaviour is (if a suitable constructor is available) appears to be to create an instance of the appropriate object.
I'd like to disable this behaviour (I had a difficult to debug issue because something was auto-bound instead of picking up my custom binding in a module). This question hints that it is possible, but I'm unable to find the answer from the NInject wiki.
Remove the SelfBindingResolver
from the kernel components after creation:
kernel.Components.RemoveAll<IMissingBindingResolver>();
kernel.Components.Add<IMissingBindingResolver, DefaultValueBindingResolver>();
The following is a better, more direct way of removing the SelfBindingResolver
, without assuming that the DefaultValueBindingResolver
is the only other IMissingBindingResolver
component:
kernel.Components.Remove<IMissingBindingResolver, SelfBindingResolver>();
It's possible the Remove<T, TImplementation>()
method was only added in a recent version of Ninject, but this works for me using Ninject 3.2.2.0.
