IValueResolver with parameterized constructor

I have written my own IValueResolver but I want it to have an interface injected at runtime from Ninject. How can I archive this?

Configure:

CreateMap<SourceEntity, DestModel>()
               .ForMember(dest => dest.IsOk, opt => opt.ResolveUsing<MyResolver>());

Resolver:

public class MyResolver : IValueResolver<SourceEntity, DestModel, bool>
        {
            private readonly IMyFacadeService _myFacadeService;

            public MyResolver (IMyFacadeService myFacadeService)
            {
                _myFacadeService= myFacadeService;
            }

            public bool Resolve(SourceEntity source, DestModel destination, bool destMember, ResolutionContext context)
            {
                var returnedBoolValue = Task.Run(async () => await _myFacadeService.CallSomeMethod(source)).Result;

                return returnedBoolValue;
            }
        }

I had a look at the documentation where it says “ConstructBy” should be possible, but I cannot get that to work. It says return of opt.ResolveUsing<CustomResolver>() is void so I cannot add .ConstructedBy

Mapper.Initialize(cfg => cfg.CreateMap<Source, Destination>()
        .ForMember(dest => dest.Total, 
            opt => opt.ResolveUsing<CustomResolver>().ConstructedBy(() => new CustomResolver())
        );

But even if this was possible. How to actually add the Ninject Kernal binding for IMyFacadeService ?

I finally got it… here is the answer for anyone else looking, this is my ninject module for AutoMapper:

    public class AutoMapperModule : NinjectModule
    {
        public override void Load()
        {
            Bind<IValueResolver<SourceEntity, DestModel, bool>>().To<MyResolver>();

            var mapperConfiguration = CreateConfiguration();
            Bind<MapperConfiguration>().ToConstant(mapperConfiguration).InSingletonScope();

            // This tells Ninject how to create automapper instances
            Bind<IMapper>().ToMethod(ctx => new Mapper(mapperConfiguration, type => ctx.Kernel.Get(type)));
        }

        private MapperConfiguration CreateConfiguration()
        {
            var config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
            {
                // Add all profiles in current assembly
                cfg.AddProfiles(GetType().Assembly);
            });

            return config;
        }
    }
