Entity Framework Saving new Objects Returns a Populated ID?

Please help me understand this.

When I save a new object to the database (using Entity Framework), am I able to access the newly created ID (Identity column) value in the line(s) after I call db.SaveChanges()? 

public Class TheObject
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
}

.....

TheObject MyObject = new TheObject();
MyObject.FirstName = "John";

db.TheObjects.Add(MyObject);
db.SaveChanges();

int MyNewID = MyObject.ID; //Am I able to access MyObject.ID here and have access to the value that was just created in the database?

Yes you are but why not just run that code and test it yourself?
