Ninject with asp.net mvc 5 controller and apicontroller

Question

I have asp.net mvc controller and apicontroller. I trying to use ninject for controller and for apicontroller. And ninject works for controller but doesn't work for apicontroller.

using System.Web.Mvc;
using MvcAPI_demo.Models;

namespace MvcAPI_demo.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        private readonly IReservationRepository _repository;

        public HomeController(IReservationRepository repository)
        {
            _repository = repository;
        }

        //
        // GET: /Home/
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View(_repository.GetAll());
        }
}


using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web.Http;
using MvcAPI_demo.Models;

namespace MvcAPI_demo.Controllers
{
    public class WebApiController : ApiController
    {
        private readonly IReservationRepository _repository;

        public WebApiController()
        {
        }

        public WebApiController(IReservationRepository repository)
        {
            _repository = repository;
        }

        public IEnumerable<Reservation> GetAllReservations()
        {
            return _repository.GetAll();
        }
}





using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using MvcAPI_demo.Models;
using Ninject;

namespace MvcAPI_demo.Infrastructure
{
    public class NinjectDependencyResolver : IDependencyResolver
    {
        private readonly IKernel _kernel;

        public NinjectDependencyResolver()
        {
        }

        public NinjectDependencyResolver(IKernel kernel)
        {
            _kernel = kernel;
            AddBinding();
        }

        private void AddBinding()
        {
            _kernel.Bind<IReservationRepository>().To<NonPersistReservationRepository>().InSingletonScope();
        }

        public object GetService(Type serviceType)
        {
            return _kernel.TryGet(serviceType);
        }

        public IEnumerable<object> GetServices(Type serviceType)
        {
            return _kernel.GetAll(serviceType);
        }
    }
}

NinjectWebCommon.cs

private static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel)
        {
            DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new NinjectDependencyResolver(kernel));


        }  

when I try to call /api/webapi is requires a default constructor, if I make a default constructor is not created new instance of a IReservationRepository. Regular MVC controller work correctly. How to make them work together?

There is a different Nuget package for web API.
