I've just upgraded to MVC 5 RTM, and am experiencing issues with Ninject. I've not modified any code and am now experiencing the following exception:

[MissingMethodException: No parameterless constructor defined for this object.]
   System.RuntimeTypeHandle.CreateInstance(RuntimeType type, Boolean publicOnly, Boolean noCheck, Boolean& canBeCached, RuntimeMethodHandleInternal& ctor, Boolean& bNeedSecurityCheck) +0

Any suggestions on what may be going on?

Actually, I believe this was caused by out of date MVC assembly versions in web.config. Seems to work fine now.

Hey, I seem to have the same issue as you. Could you share what assembly versions you updated?

You need to follow the steps here: http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-5/how-to-upgrade-an-aspnet-mvc-4-and-web-api-project-to-aspnet-mvc-5-and-web-api-2

The key is to make sure the binding redirects are up to date, and that the appropriate assembly versions are also up to date (in Web.config). Updating via NuGet does not seem to do this automatically.
