Progammatically Adding Folders to a SharePoint List

This took me longer than it should have to get working as the things I tried first compiled but did nothing:

 myList.Folders.Add("DoesNotWork", SPFileSystemObjectType.Folder);

The way I got it to work in the end was like this: 

            SPList myList = myWeb.Lists["My List"];            SPListItem newFolder = myList.Items.Add(myList.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl, SPFileSystemObjectType.Folder, null);            if (newFolder != null)            {                newFolder["Name"] = "Name of Folder";                newFolder.Update();            }

Hope this helps somebody :-)
