Visual Studio 2010 UML doesn’t support State models. This extension does (add State Models to Visual Studio that is)…

Visual Studio Gallery - StatePatternModeler

“This extension provides a project template to create a State Model. It also provides an item template that lets you generate code from that State Model. …

Check out these two tutorial videos that I did to demonstrate the extension:

Not having State Models in VS 2010 is a sore point for some. Well now, with this Extension, we can “State” to heart’s content… :)

One option would be to simulate state diagrams using class diagrams, as you suggest.

Another option would be to use Visual Studio 2010 UML "Activity Diagrams" as state diagrams.
