NinjectControllerFactory FileLoadException Error

Question

I tried create just example porject and I want use Ninject.I create NinjectControllerFactory.cs like this

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Ninject;
using System.Web.Routing;
using Moq;
using System.Linq;
using SportStore.Domain.Entities;
using SportStore.Domain.Abstract;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using SportStore.Domain.Concrete;

namespace SportStore.WebUI.Infrastructure
{
    public class NinjectControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
    {
        private IKernel ninjectKernel;

        public NinjectControllerFactory()
        {
            ninjectKernel = new StandardKernel();
            AddBindings();
        }

        protected override IController GetControllerInstance(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
        {
            return controllerType == null
                ? null
                : (IController)ninjectKernel.Get(controllerType);
        }

        private void AddBindings()
        {   
            ninjectKernel.Bind<IProductsRepository>().To<EFProductRepository>();
        }

    }
}

and I create IProductRepository.cs like this

    using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using SportStore.Domain.Entities;

namespace SportStore.Domain.Abstract
{
    public interface IProductsRepository
    {
        IQueryable<Product> Products { get; }
    }
}

And the last one EFProductRepository like this

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using SportStore.Domain.Abstract;
using SportStore.Domain.Entities;

namespace SportStore.Domain.Concrete
{
    public class EFProductRepository : IProductsRepository
    {
        private EFDbContext context = new EFDbContext();

        public IQueryable<Product> Products
        {
            get { return context.Products; }
        }
    }
}

So when I run project I get this error

I am using EntityFramework v6 and I am using MSSQL server 2008 r2. This error in NinjectControllerFactory.cs line this

return controllerType == null
                ? null
                : (IController)ninjectKernel.Get(controllerType);

Anyone can help me please ? Thanks

Probably you have added reference to EF6 in your project and did not install it from Nuget. Make sure you have this in your webconfig:<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" /> — afzalulh

I ran into the same issue and here's what I did to fix mine. Maybe, this will help you fix yours.

The problem appears to be a versioning number issue of EntityFramework in your references (SportsStore.Domain and SportsStore.WebUI) and web.config in SportsStore.WebUI.

Check each EntityFramework reference and change each version to 6.0.0.0. In SportsStore.WebUI, you won't be able to change it since it takes the entry from your web.config. As a result, just remove the EntityFramework reference from SportsStore.WebUI. Compile, and it should work.

I hope this helps.
