I think that if you want to do this without the cooperation of the target thread (such as by having it call a method that blocks it on a Semaphore or something while your thread does the stacktrace) you'll need to use the deprecated APIs.

A possible alternative is the use the COM-based ICorDebug interface that the .NET debuggers use. The MDbg codebase might give you a start:
