I'm having difficulty integrating Ninject with XNA.
static class Program
{
/**
* The main entry point for the application.
*/
static void Main(string[] args)
{
IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel(NinjectModuleManager.GetModules());
CachedContentLoader content = kernel.Get<CachedContentLoader>(); // stack overflow here
MasterEngine game = kernel.Get<MasterEngine>();
game.Run();
}
}
// constructor for the game
public MasterEngine(IKernel kernel)
: base(kernel)
{
this.inputReader = kernel.Get<IInputReader>();
graphicsDeviceManager = kernel.Get<GraphicsDeviceManager>();
Components.Add(kernel.Get<GamerServicesComponent>());
// Tell the loader to look for all files relative to the "Content" directory.
Assets = kernel.Get<CachedContentLoader>();
//Sets dimensions of the game window
graphicsDeviceManager.PreferredBackBufferWidth = 800;
graphicsDeviceManager.PreferredBackBufferHeight = 600;
graphicsDeviceManager.ApplyChanges();
IsMouseVisible = false;
}

When I try to get the CachedContentLoader
, I get a stack overflow exception. I'm basing this off of this tutorial, but I really have no idea what I'm doing. Help?
