Generation of UML class diagram out of C# code

Question

I have the following problem. I have some C# classes and I need an UML class diagram for that as documentation. As I want to spare time and nerves it would be awesome if I can generate the diagram out of my code. (Reverse engineering tool) I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise, but in the UML tool there I can only draw them by hand or am I missing something? I know there's such a tool in eclipse named object aid uml. Something similar would fulfill my needs. EDIT: View > Class view - is unfortunately not enough

In VS, click View > Class View. In Class View explorer you should be able to find all listed Class per Project, right click a Class and select View Class Diagram. :) — Dr. Stitch, May 11 '16 at 02:23
Yeah, I know this option, but this is no UML diagram, more a visualisation of C# classes. — , May 11 '16 at 02:25
I agree with Dr. Stitch so you can create your diagram by hand or change the tool... — Red Beard, May 11 '16 at 08:55

A deeper research got me to this stackoverflow post from a Microsoft employee. He clearly states that there's no intention to bring such a reverse engineering tool to Visual Studio 2015.
