I am trying to do a DateRangeQuery with NEST. This is my code:

> ```
> qbb.Bool(
> qbm =>
> qbm.Must(
> qbms =>
> qbms.DateRange(t => t.Field("DateField").GreaterThanOrEquals(DateMath.Now.Add(TimeSpan.FromDays(-8)).RoundTo(TimeUnit.Day)))))
> 
> ```

I am trying to select everything dat has a date greater than or equal to 8 days ago. But this code returns a useless error. Does anyone have a tip?

What's the error message returned? Is it in the client or returned from Elasticsearch? More detail would be good here.

There is an implicit conversion from `DateTime` to `DateMath`, so instead of using

```auto
DateMath.Now.Add(TimeSpan.FromDays(8)).RoundTo(TimeUnit.Day)

```

which evaluates to "now+8d/d", you could use

```auto
DateTime.UtcNow.Date.AddDays(-8)

```

which will evaluate to a specific date .e.g. "2016-11-13T00:00:00Z" for today's date as `DateTime.UtcNow`
