Adding items to sharepoint list

Sometimes it is required to manage sharepoint lists using C# or webparts. The project, currently I am working requires the same. Add method is available for list(SPList), but there is no way how can I update or save it. After little “google”ing I found it.

SPListItem MyItem = currentList.Items.Add();
MyItem["myfield"] = "Hello World";
MyItem.Update();

Thats it, it will update myfield column with “Hello World”.
