As has already been noted, the Professional edition of Visual Studio doesn't allow you to generate sequence diagrams.

An alternative would be to use a proper UML tool, such as Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems. This offers far more modelling capabilities than Visual Studio, and has support for C++, C#, Java and a host of other languages. And yes, it can generate class and sequence diagrams from source and binary code (binary requires the second-cheapest license).
