Is there any way to generate a sub system diagram of an application from its visual studio solution?
I am not looking to generate a class diagram.
Visual Studio 2010, at least in the 2010 Ultimate edition, has an "Architecture" menu item with a "Build Dependency Graph" option. One of the options is to build the graph "by Assembly." It sounds like that is what you are after.

We can create Class Diagram in Microsoft Visual Studio which shows relation between classes.
Is it possible to create/draw/export Project Dependencies Diagram? Something that shows dependencies between projects in a diagram, not only a list.
Is there any extension for Visual Studio to do so?
If you have Visual Studio Ultimate, you can use the Architecture Menu -> Generate Dependency Graph.
I don't know if it's available in downlevel skus.
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.
using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate I created a class diagram of a C# / WPF project. The project is well documented, meaning ever property has a xml summary. Now in the class diagram one can hover over a property and read this summary - fine. But what about printing? Visual Studio just prints the diagram! Is there any way to let Visual Studio 2010 add the summary for the properties? Are there tools that an do this? Thanks for any hint!
Use the modeling tools addin. This allows you to add the comments to the diagram. http://modeling.codeplex.com/releases/view/49473
Is there a way in Visual Studio 2008 Professional edition to create a graphical representation of an application? What I am looking for is a flowchart or other design graph that shows each program in the app and how they relate to other programs and files in the app. I can create one using Visio, but wanted to know if there is something built into Visual Studio that can do this.
Yes.
In the solution explorer, right click on your project, and choose Add->New Item...
In the Project Items, add a "Class Diagram".
This lets you create a class diagram, which can be used to show inheritance and other relationships between your classes.
Does Visual Studio 2010 Professional have the Diagramming support announced on the web?
Do I need to install the TS version to be able to get these features ?
According to the Microsoft website, only the Ultimate Edition of Visual Studio 2010 (full relaease not Beta) comes with the UML Modelling Tools:
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/product-comparison
(Under 'Architecture and Modeling' features)
They're there -- the UML diagrams, if that's what you mean (at least in my version -- VisualStudio Team System 2010 Version 10.0.20506.1.Beta1).
Select File -> New -> Modeling Project.
Then in the Solution Explorer (the window on the right), right click on your Modeling Project (whatever name you supplied -- default is ModelingProject1). Then select Add -> New Item -> Sequence Diagram. (Or Activity, Class, Component, Layering, Use Case).
It's too early to get a definite answer: the phase when a product group defines the exact packaging and licensing is just beginning.
Heard it is available in VS2010. But not sure about edition specific features. It is yet to declare.

The Modeling tools can be found in the TS Version of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1.
You need Visual Studio Ultimate to create modeling projects. You can read modeling projects in Visual Studio Professional.
