The uml sequence diagram was drawed in visual studio 2015, and it can still be opened in 2015. But double click the diagram file in 2017, the visual studio shows me xml instead of draw the diagram.
So, what is the right way to open diagram in visual studio 2017?
Check it out: UML designers have been removed. You may stay in VS 2015 to continue using this feature.

How can I add a UML Activity diagram to a project in visual studio 2017?
You can't. Visual Studio is a code editor, not a UML modeling tool.
There has been some support for UML like diagrams in VS in the past, but this has been discontinued in the latest versions.

Starting with Visual Studio 2017, the UML Designers have been removed from Visual Studio.
I am looking for the Generate Sequence Diagram-command in Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise, but I can´t find it. Has this feature been removed? Here is a link to the documentation describing the feature in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee317485(v=vs.120).aspx
I don't know whether it is missing in Visual Studio 2012 but I wonder why I cannot see the advanced tooltip feature in 2012.
In VS2010, once you hover your mouse over a code, it displays the following:
But it is how it looks right now in Visual Studio 2012:
And it looks rather primitive compared to Visual Studio 2010.
That's from a Visual Studio Plug-in. I think it's either PowerTools or VSCommands. You should install the same plug-in in VS2012, and you should get that behavior back.
(Just confirmed that it's Productivity Power Tools that provides that feature.)
I don't see the Generate Sequence Diagram in VS when right clicking on/inside a method. Does anyone know how to get that option back?

What version of Visual Studio do you have? I believe this option is only available to Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.
How do I open a .dgml file using Visual Studio 2010 Professional so that I see the DGML graph visually? I have read here that VS 2010 supports DGML viewing, but whenever I drag my file into Visual Studio I am presented only with the XML editor.
Correct, DGML is available only for Premium and Ultimate.
From all that I've read (e.g. there, or there), I suspect that DGML is not available at all in the Professional edition of Visual Studio 2010.
You'd most likely need Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. It seems DGML is one part of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate's "Architecture" features.
It also seems as if DGML was available in a Beta version of Visual Studio 2010. (IIRC, the Beta version was an Ultimate edition.)
