After making some changes in one of my modules, I started getting the following error whenever I opened Orchard CMS in a browser:

This error occured as soon as my module was enabled. Since it is an NHibernate exception I assumed it was caused either by a ContentPartRecord or by Migrations.cs. But I hadn’t changed anything in there. After searching for a root cause for a while (again, the exception didn’t help much in finding where the cause of the error could be found), I saw that I had created a class in the Models folder which had a property called Id. This class was neither ContentPartRecord nor referenced in Migrations.cs but I wondered whether the fact that Id is the default Identifier Property Name and it was indeed a string, maybe this was causing the problem. So I just renamed the property to something else and it solved my problem !
I am not too sure whether I only had this exception because the class was defined in the Models folder or whether it could have happened in any other folder. But I’m just not in the mood to try moving the class and renaming the property back to Id.
