Where does the Add method come from in DbContext class?

I have been checking the DbContext class. It does not have an Add method. However, many examples use the Add method. I understand that it is a derived class of ObjectContext. There is an AddObject method. So are the Add and AddObject methods the same?

I guess Add method you're talking about is method on DbSet<TEntity>, and what you really see is something like that:

using(var ctx = new MyContext())
{
    ctx.Users.Add(newUser);
    ctx.SaveChanges();
}

It adds new item into given table, represented as DbSet<TEntity>. I've used Users as property name, but it will be different, depending on your context (most likely there will be more than one DbSet<TEntity> within your context).
