From http://www.garethelms.org/2011/05/help-getting-started-with-petapoco/#comment-69, I can see that all the GetSetMethod() are GetSetMethod(true) ever since the petaPOCo is installed.

To make the accepted answer a bit more precise. I ran into this issue when I had a property in my POCO that matched the name of a column in the database table but I didn't have a setter for the property. In my case it was a property that I was computing myself so I didn't really need the data from the table and I intended it to be read-only. Adding an empty setter fixed the problem for me.

A likely better option would be to add the Ignore attribute to that property.

I ultimately ended up removing the column from the table.

The issue was indeed with the POCO as I missed to set and get the ID

Does your poco have a parameterless constructor ie; no arguments? It will need one. If you've created your own constructor with parameters you won't have a default parameterless constructor which could be causing the reflection code to fail. Maybe that's it.
