how to get or set ItemPicker control value

Using code as solution in this thread ..

http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/33520/how-to-get-or-set-itempicker-control-value/67122?noredirect=1#comment63585_67122

peClient = new PickerEntity();
    peClient.DisplayText = item["Client"].ToString();
    peClient.Key = item["dbo_x002e_Customer_ID"].ToString();
    bdcClientSelector.Entities.Add(bdcClientSelector.ValidateEntity(peClient));

I get NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. when debuger hits the bdcClientSelector.ValidateEntity(peClient)

ItemPicker control is set up correctly since i can pick any value from Item Picker Dialog and it fills the control with selected item if i do it manually in browser...

I tried putting inside of Run with elevated privileges ... it's the same. Any advice on this one ?

I am trying on this forum aswell since on stackexchange.com is no response ..
