I think these both blog post should help you solving your problem.

http://blog.the-dargans.co.uk/2007/04/programmatically-adding-items-to.html http://asadewa.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/adding-a-custom-content-type-specific-item-on-a-sharepoint-list/

Short walk through:

Get a instance of the list you want to add the item to.
Add a new item to the list:
```
SPListItem newItem = list.AddItem();
```
To bind you new item to a content type you have to set the content type id for the new item:
```
newItem["ContentTypeId"] = <Id of the content type>;
```
Set the fields specified within your content type.
Commit your changes:
```
newItem.Update();
```

To put it simple you will need to follow the step    You need to reference the Microsoft SharePoint dll to the application  Assuming the List Name is Test and it has only one Field  Title  here is the code           using  SPSite oSite new SPSite  http   mysharepoint                  using  SPWeb oWeb oSite RootWeb                        SPList oList   oWeb Lists  Test                SPListItem oSPListItem   oList Items Add                oSPListItem  Title      Hello SharePoint               oSPListItem Update                      Note that you need to run this application in the Same server where the SharePoint is installed  You dont need to create a Custom Class for Custom Content Type

This is how it was on the Microsoft site  with me just tweaking the SPSite and SPWeb since these might vary from environment to environment and it helps not to have to hard-code these   using  SPSite oSiteCollection   new SPSite SPContext Current Site Url         using  SPWeb oWeb   oSiteCollection OpenWeb SPContext Current Web                 SPList oList   oWeb Lists  Announcements               You may also use             SPList oList   oWeb GetList   Lists Announcements               to avoid querying all of the sites  lists         SPListItem oListItem   oList Items Add            oListItem  Title      My Item           oListItem  Created     new DateTime 2004  1  23           oListItem  Modified     new DateTime 2005  10  1           oListItem  Author     3          oListItem  Editor     3          oListItem Update              Source  SPListItemClass  Microsoft SharePoint    2012   Retrieved February 22  2012  from http   msdn microsoft com en-us library microsoft sharepoint splistitem aspx

You can create an item in your custom SharePoint list doing something like this   using  SPSite site   new SPSite  http   sharepoint          using  SPWeb web   site RootWeb                SPList list   web Lists  My List            SPListItem listItem   list AddItem            listItem  Title      The Title           listItem  CustomColumn      I am custom           listItem Update               Using list AddItem   should save the lists items being enumerated
