I’m having problems with a Get. Here’s the call:

// Get  
var resGet = elastic.Get(g =\> g  
.Id(firstId.ToString())  
.Index(indexName));

Error is:

Cannot convert lambda expression to type ‘Nest.DocumentPath\<ElasticSearchConsApp.BlogPost\>’ because it is not a delegate.

Id: is a GUID so I converted to String which it “looks like” DocumentPath would resolve to.

Thank-you.
