SQL OUTPUT Stored Procedures not working with ExecuteReader

When using a Stored procedure on SQL 2008 and C# 4.0, I am unable to retrieve OUTPUT information and return info from a Select statement. I keep getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.". When i do ExecuteScalar() i get the rows, but not the data. Found a few examples out there and they look like what i'm doing, so i think i'm missing something simple in front of me. Thanks.

Stored procedure

USE [PhoneDb]
GO
/****** Object:  StoredProcedure [dbo].[TestPagingProcedure]    Script Date: 06/16/2开发者_JS百科011 08:39:03 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[TestPagingProcedure] 
    -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
    @startRowIndex int,
    @maximumRows int,
    @totalRows int OUTPUT


AS
BEGIN
    -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
    -- interfering with SELECT statements.
    SET NOCOUNT ON;

DECLARE @first_id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
DECLARE @startRow int

SET @startRowIndex =  (@startRowIndex - 1)  * @maximumRows

IF @startRowIndex = 0 
SET @startRowIndex = 1

SET ROWCOUNT @startRowIndex

SELECT @first_id = ExtensionGUID FROM ExtItem ORDER BY ExtensionGUID

PRINT @first_id

SET ROWCOUNT @maximumRows

SELECT 
ExtensionGUID, AesExt, AesHashPassword, ToNumber, AgentExt, Name, JpgImageName, BigImageName, WbmpImageName
 FROM ExtItem WHERE 
ExtensionGUID >= @first_id 
ORDER BY ExtensionGUID

SET ROWCOUNT 0

-- GEt the total rows 

SELECT @totalRows = COUNT(ExtensionGUID) FROM ExtItem

END

According to, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms971497, you must close the datareader before you process the output parameters.
