I have an MVC 5 application which uses Ninject and I am adding Hangfire to it.

When I have added Ninject, I have used the NinjectWebCommon nuget package because of its simplicity in the configuration. So for now Ninject is configured through the NinjectWebCommon class which create a standard kernel and add the bindings.

Moreover I have created some custom module that I load when creating the kernel

private static IKernel CreateKernel() {
    var kernel = new StandardKernel( new MyCustomModule() );
    try {
        kernel.Bind<Func<IKernel>>().ToMethod( ctx => () => new Bootstrapper().Kernel );
        kernel.Bind<IHttpModule>().To<HttpApplicationInitializationHttpModule>();

        RegisterServices( kernel );
        return kernel;
    }
    catch {
        kernel.Dispose();
        throw;
    }
}

The Ninject Web Common is registered through the WebActivatorEx class

[assembly: WebActivatorEx.PreApplicationStartMethod( typeof( MyProject.Web.NinjectWebCommon ), "Start" )]
[assembly: WebActivatorEx.ApplicationShutdownMethodAttribute( typeof( MyProject.Web.NinjectWebCommon ), "Stop" )]

Now the problem is related on how to make Hangfire to see the Ninject configuration. By looking at the Hangfire.Ninject package I can read

The package provides an extension method for IGlobalConfiguration interface:

var kernel = new StandardKernel(); GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.UseNinjectActivator(kernel);

Now my question are:

• Because of the IGlobalConfiguration interface, I should add the Hangfire Ninject configuration inside the OWIN startup method (where the Hangfire config is already placed). How should I get the current Ninject Kernel (the one that NinjectWebCommon has configured?
• What about the order of execution? Is the WebActivatorExexecuting before or after the OWIN startup?
• What happens if I try to execute the configuration twice?

More generally, how can I share the Ninject configuration between the two?
