Invalid Operation Exception when using DrawUtil.Rect on GUIBitmap

Ok, I must be missing something somewhere. In the _BeginRun() method, I create a GUIBitmap and set it as the content control. I then attempt to set the property HasBorder to true. When I do this, the game throws an exception on line 260 of the Util class in the GUI namespace. Here is the entire exception the game throws:

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
Message="Both a valid vertex shader and pixel shader (or valid effect) must be set on the device before any draw operations may be performed."

Also, if I set HasBorder to false and just try to use DrawUtil.Rect on my own, I also get an exception. Is there something wrong with the DrawUtil or am i missing something/some necessary initialization?
