I have a WCF 4 service with 2 endpoints configured to use wsHttpBinding and netTcpBinding. I am hosting the service within IIS 7.5 using WAS and am using the Ninject WCF extension to DI into my service. My service works fine when I use the wsHttpBinding endpoint to call my service but fails when I use the netTcpBinding. When I look in my Application Event Log I get the following error outlined below.
I have tried debugging the problem in VS2010 but am getting nowhere fast with this. I don’t want to have to remove Ninject from my WCF service if at all possible. I understand that I could just use wsHttpBinding but I this is an internal service and I want to get the performance gains that netTcpBindings provide.
WebHost failed to process a request.

Is there anybody out there that may be able to help with this problem? Any help on this one would be much appreciated.
If I'm correct, I reckon you may be using an older version which uses the KernelContainer. You need to set the Kernel on the KernelContainer. See:
