Null reference exception error when using a slider

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to create a slider and a text, which shows the slider's current value when it's being assigned using this code:

 #pragma strict
 
 var text: GameObject;
 private var textContent: UI.Text;
 
 function Awake()
 {
     textContent = text.GetComponent.<UI.Text>();
     Debug.Log(textContent);
 }
 
 function Slider(info: float)
 {
     textContent.text = "Current value: "+info;
     Debug.Log(textContent);
 }

The thing is that it tells me this error: "NullReferenceException: Object Reference not set to an Instance of an Object" but I've set it in the inspector.

EDIT: I've deleted the 14th line and the console told me first that the object reference is the object I've assigned in the inspector, but when I use the slider it told me that the object reference is null.
