Remarks
To add an item to a list, first call the AddItem method to create a nonfolder list item with an automatically generated name in the root of the list. Then use indexers on the returned SPListItem object to assign specific values for each field of the item. Finally, call the Update method on the SPListItem object to write the changes to the database.
Important
The new item is not actually added to the list until you save it to the content database by calling the SPListItem.Update method.
