Win Phone 7 Emulator changing the reference to graphics device.

In an effort to program an XNA game in a landscape orientation I found a post on this site: http://www.smartypantscoding.com/creating-a-windows-phone-7-xna-game-in-landscape-orientation. After implementing the code it took my simple graphic and indeed transformed the orientation. However, mysteriously the renderTarget is losing its reference to the graphics device that the emulator is using, or at least I thought. So I used the debugger to delve deeper into the program and I found to my amazement that visual studio considered Render.Graphics device to be a different than graphics.GraphicsDevice. Leading to the following error:

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled

Message=Resources can only be used on the GraphicsDevice that they were created on. This resource was not created on this GraphicsDevice.

StackTrace:

   at BDB_Mobile.Game1.Draw(GameTime gameTime)

   at MS.Internal.JoltHelper.FireEvent(IntPtr unmanagedObj, IntPtr unmanagedObjArgs, Int32 argsTypeIndex, String eventName)

Any thoughts as to why the graphics device reference would change?

Thank you.
