WCF Parameterless constructor error with Ninject

I have a WCF Service that I am using constructor injection with Ninject.

This is on the .net 4.5 framework

When I access the service I get the following error.

[MissingMethodException: No parameterless constructor defined for this object.]

   System.Web.AsyncEventExecutionStep.OnAsyncEventCompletion(IAsyncResult ar) +9708641

Now the odd part to me is this. I set a break point in constructor, when I call the service the constructor with injection is called and properly injects everything and then returns. This error occurs after the return from the non-default constructor.

This is my constructor

    private IAuthenticationBl Bl;


    public Authentication(IAuthenticationBl AuthenticationBl)
    {
        Bl = AuthenticationBl;

    }

I have included in the service markup

Factory="Ninject.Extensions.Wcf.NinjectServiceHostFactory"

Any help is appreciated.

For anyone running into a similar issue. The root of the problem was the service had a CustomAuthorizationPolicy that required an injection. This required creating a CustomServiceHostFactory.
