Content part editing view not displayed when creating a content item in Orchard

Question

I created a content part and then added it to a content type in Orchard. But when I try to create a content item of that type, the fields for the part's properties are not displayed. I'm looking for suggestions of where the problem might be.

UPD: the relevant code:

using JetBrains.Annotations;
using ArealAds.Models;
using Orchard.ContentManagement;
using Orchard.ContentManagement.Drivers;

using ArealAds.Services;
using ArealAds.ViewModels;

    public class AdDriver : ContentPartDriver<AdPart> {
        private readonly IAdService _adService;

        public AdDriver (IAdService adService)
        {
            _adService = adService;
        }

        protected override string Prefix {
            get { return "AdPart"; }
        }

        protected override DriverResult Display(
            AdPart part, string displayType, dynamic shapeHelper) {

            return ContentShape("Parts_Ad", () => shapeHelper.Parts_Ad(
                Title: part.Title,
                Url: part.Url,
                Email: part.Email,
                Phone1: part.Phone1,

                avm.AreaId = part.AreaRecord.Id;

Can you post the code for the part model, record, driver, and handler? — Giscard Biamby
@GiscardBiamby I posted the code. Thank you for helping - again :) By the way, from your experience, are such problems common among the Orchard beginners, or is it just me? I kind of begin to worry about my skills after spending about an hour trying to find an error in my code and just not being able to spot it <_< — Alexei Averchenko
These problems are common. I ran into a lot of the same ones that others ask about, and I still run into issues when I try new features. — Giscard Biamby
Can you the ViewModel(s), and the code related to AreaRecord and DistrictRecord (including models, migration, etc). Are you sure those error logs you pasted are related to this issue? If you clear the logs , restart the development web server, and load the editor page again do you still get the error in the logs? — Giscard Biamby
Also, have you tried to run the project in debug mode while loading the editor page? — Giscard Biamby

You're probably missing an entry in placement.info.

Add this into the placement.info file in your module (not the placement.info for yoru theme, since the theme is not active while you're in the dashboard):

`<Place Parts_Ad_Edit="Content:1" />`
