POHow does Ninject and MVC resolve this custom attribute to the custom action filter?

Body
copied!<p>I actually have the following code working, but I really am not sure how MVC or Ninject is actually able to bind the LogFilter to the ILoggerMVCAttribute. I guess at some level it makes sense that a filter would have attributes, but I just am not seeing what commonality (interface or base class) allows this to happen. Just trying to gain a better understanding, in case I need to do something like this again in the future. Thanks in advance. </p> <pre><code>//Basic trimmed down code //Custom Action Filter public class LogFilter : System.Web.Mvc.IActionFilter { public class ILogger logger {get;set;} public LogFilter(ILogger logger) { this.logger = logger; } public void OnActionExecuted(System.Web.Mvc.ActionExecutedContext filterContext) { LogRequest(logger); } public void OnActionExecuting(System.Web.Mvc.ActionExecutingContext filterContext) { } } //Custom Action Filter Attribute public class ILoggerMVCAttribute : FilterAttribute { } //Ninject binding the action filter to the action filter attribute. this.BindFilter<LogFilter>(System.Web.Mvc.FilterScope.Controller, 0) .WhenControllerHas<ILoggerMVCAttribute>(); </code></pre> <p>For the record, I did not end up using the above approach for my logging. I was able to get the current instance of my logger in the Global.asax LogRequest as follows.</p> <pre><code>protected void Application_LogRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e) { ILogger log = this.Kernel.Get<ILogger>(); LogRequest(log); } </code></pre>
