Christian BTW, the "totally easy" was not a smart-alec remark. :)
I think it is essential to note that you have to do 3 steps: get your ObjectContext, create the new entity using the "newObject" method, and then eventually "commitChanges". My experience has been that if you do not do these three steps then the "new object" will disappear (even though it looks like it is persisted, it may only be an illusion).
