PageNumber / PageCount problem

[Koen L]

I'm trying to display the PageNumber / PageCount in a textbox in the footer area of the main report. The steps I have taken are:
-drag a textbox to the mainpage's footer area
-rightclick the textbox choose expression..
- go to global objects
- double click PageNumber and PageCount
- manually add a string value so I get "= PageNumber + " / " + PageCount"

When I run the report I get the error:
An error has occurred while processing TextBox 'txtPageNumber':
The expression contains object 'PageNumber' that is not defined in the current context.

Why isn't this working?

the code in the designer.cs file:

//
// txtPageNumber
//
this.txtPageNumber.Location = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.PointU(Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Cm(15.899999618530273D), Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Cm(0.00019984244136139751D));
this.txtPageNumber.Name = "txtPageNumber";
this.txtPageNumber.Size = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.SizeU(Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Cm(3.2999002933502197D), Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Cm(0.59980064630508423D));
this.txtPageNumber.Style.Color = System.Drawing.Color.DarkGray;
this.txtPageNumber.Style.TextAlign = Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.HorizontalAlign.Right;
this.txtPageNumber.Value = "= PageNumber + \"/\" + PageCount";

Hi Koen L,

Since the paging of a report strongly depends on the format it is rendered to, the Page Footer/Header  
and its items are processed by the corresponding rendering extension after the report data has been processed. At this moment the report data source is not available anymore and due to this you can use the built-in PageNumber and PageCount objects only in the Page Footer/Header sections. Thus make sure that the textbox is located in a Page Footer section.

Kind regards,

The textbox was located in the report footer not the page footer.
Problem is solved.
