You shouldn't need the x.Flags line. The following sample throws a security
exception when it demands the UnmanagedCode permission. If you comment out
the attribute, then the demand works. Hope this helps.

Imports System.Security.Permissions

Module Module1

    <SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Deny, UnmanagedCode:=True)>
_
    Sub Main()
        Dim s As New
SecurityPermission(SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode)
        s.Demand()
    End Sub

End Module
