Good question. I actually don't test it and I have forgotten to add a few
items before but unfortunately, it is a runtime error. What I would rather
do but I am too lazy to is have this information loaded from a configuration
file instead, so if you forget to add something, you can just edit the
config file without having to recompile/re-deploy.

Ninject doesn't support config files which is ironically why I like it.

A solution would be to create a test everytime you add an "injectable" class
to test if it is getting loaded/injected properly or not. This should be a
simple IsNotNull test. (I think).

One more thing I only thought about once I was implementing your technique in my project: How do you test your StandardModule.Load bindings? I'm sure I'll forget adding one of those sooner or later.

Excellent post! I've been looking for a way to DRY up my own code as well and your post led me on the right way.
