That article has a couple of different types:
1) Simple screen shots. These are easy: bring the window to the front, hold down ALT and press the PRNT SCRN key (on the group of three keys you probably never use). This copies the active window to the clipboard. Open your prefered photoediting program (I use PaintShop Pro, but GIMP, Photoshop, or even Paint will do). Paste your image, crop it to the desired chunk, and save it.
2) Class diagrams. These take a bit more explaining, so start here: How to: Add Class Diagrams to Projects (Class Designer)[^]

If you have Resharper installed, you can create some interesting architecture diagrams, see here for an example: ReSharper Architecture Tools | Pavel Surmenok[^]
Here is an interesting diagram tool by Sacha Barber on CodeProject: 200% Reflective Class Diagram Creation Tool[^]

Solution 5

With Visual Studio 2017 (except the Enterprise version) there are some changes: the old diagramming tools are not included in the basic install: [^], [^].

But, you can run the VS installer, and install “Visual Studio extension development” and the Class Diagram component.
