Why use Ninject

It uses a fluent interface to declare type bindings whereas the other frameworks rely on XML configuration files. It is a lightweight framework and aims to keep things simple and straightforward. It uses an extremely flexible form of binding called contextual binding.

How Ninject works

• Ninject uses a central object to provide concrete implementations of dependencies at runtime.


• Repeating calls via reflection as in dependency injection by hand can be very slow.Ninject takes advantage of the light weight code generation system firstintroduce in version 2.0 of the CLR.


• By default, the Standard Kernel will create dynamic methods that can be used to inject values into the different injection targets. These dynamic methods are then triggered via delegate calls
