Example

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        using (var context = new MyDbContext())
        {
            var employee = new Employee
            {
                Name = "John Doe",
                Department = "IT"
            };

            context.Employees.Add(employee);
            context.SaveChanges();

            Console.WriteLine("Record added successfully.");
        }
    }
}

Explanation: This example adds a new employee record to the database by using the Add() method on the Employees DbSet and calling SaveChanges() to persist the changes.
