RKSNI0005

Why this is deprecated

Ninject.Syntax.IFluentSyntax is part of the Rokstep.Ninject.Shims shim library. The original library is abandoned or deprecated. This diagnostic ID (RKSNI0005) fires at build time to guide you toward the modern replacement.

Obsolete message: Ninject.Syntax.IFluentSyntax is part of the deprecated Ninject binding DSL. This Rokstep.Ninject.Shims keeps your existing code working on .NET 6/8. For new code, use Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.IServiceCollection. See https://dev.rokstep.eu/migrations/RKSNI0005 for details.

What you can do

Option 1 — Drop-in shim (zero code changes)

Install the shim package and keep using the existing API. The shim compiles your code but emits this warning at build time.

Terminal window
dotnet add package Rokstep.Ninject.Shims

Option 2 — Migrate to the modern alternative

Replace Ninject.Syntax.IFluentSyntax with from.
