Problems exposing 4.6 Text to the inspector as public Text

Hi, I am using 4.6 and trying to expose a text component to the inspector. The thing is, my script works fine on one of my other projects, but refuses to work in this one, despite being able to expose a UI image just fine.

Basically, If I use this code:

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public Class UIControl : Monobehaviour (
 
 public Image healthImage;
 public Text ammoCount;
 public int ammoRemaining;
 
 void Start()
 
 {
 healthImage.fillAmount = 1.0f;
 ammoCount.text = "ammo" +ammoRemaining;
 }

The weird thing is that the health image is exposed to the inspector, but the Text isn't.

So, I thought I would change the code to use GetComponent to reference the text:

     using UnityEngine;
     using UnityEngine.UI;
     using System.Collections;
     
     public Class UIControl : Monobehaviour (
     
     public Image healthImage;
     public GameObject textHolder;
     Text ammoCount;
     public int ammoRemaining;
     
     void Start()
     
     {
     ammoCount = textHolder.GetComponent<Text>();
     healthImage.fillAmount = 1.0f;
     ammoCount.text = "ammo" +ammoRemaining;
     }

If I try that, I get the following error:

The type 'Text' cannot be used as a type parameter 'T' in the generic type or method 'UnityEngine.GameObject.GetComponent()'. There is no implicit reference conversion from 'Text' to 'UnityEngine.Component'.

Does anyone have any ideas? I cant really understand why the Image works and the text doesn't?
