Ninject: Inject all subclasses

Ok, so I've seen how I can use kernel.GetAll to get back instances of every class that implements an interface. (well documented under multi-injection here: https://github.com/ninject/Ninject/wiki/Multi-injection)

What if I want to do almost the same thing, but I want for it to inject all inheritors of a subclass?

var instances = kernel.GetAll<ParentClass>(); // or something equivalent?

I've tried the code above. It doesn't throw, but it doesn't return any instances either.

You need to bind the base class to each of the derived classes like so:

kernel.Bind<ParentClass>().To<ClassA>();
kernel.Bind<ParentClass>().To<ClassB>();
var instances = kernel.GetAll<ParentClass>();
