Inject attribute doesn't work for field

Inject attribute is not working for field. 

[Inject]
public MyContext context; //Not injected

[Inject]
public MyContext context {get; set;} //Injected

I am using default Ninject settings. Why field is not injected ?

Solution

  • Because it is not allowed.

    From the Ninject 2 Beta announcement:

    Things that were in Ninject 1.x that are not in Ninject 2:

    • Field injection: Ninject 2’s injection is now driven by expression trees, and in .NET 3.5 there is no way to set field values with an expression tree. Since this is a bad practice anyway, I decided to cut it.
