Hi Habeeb,

This is the sample code I did using Silverlight before:

private void CreateCustomer()
        {
            try
            {

                Contact contactRecord = new Contact();

                contactRecord.FirstName = txtFirstName.Text;
                contactRecord.LastName = txtLastName.Text;
                contactRecord.FullName = txtFirstName.Text + txtLastName.Text;

                OptionSetValue osvGender = new OptionSetValue();
                if (rbGenderMale.IsChecked == true)
                {
                    osvGender.Value = 1;
                }
                else
                {
                    osvGender.Value = 2;
                }
                contactRecord.GenderCode = osvGender;

                if (rbReceivePromoSMSYes.IsChecked == true)
                {
                    contactRecord.new_ReceivePromoSMS = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    contactRecord.new_ReceivePromoSMS = false;
                }

                contactRecord.MobilePhone = txtMobilePhone.Text;
                contactRecord.EMailAddress1 = txtEmail.Text;
                contactRecord.Address1_Telephone1 = txtPhone.Text;
                contactRecord.Address1_Name = txtAddressName.Text;
                contactRecord.Address1_Line1 = txtStreet1.Text;
                contactRecord.Address1_Line2 = txtStreet2.Text;
                contactRecord.Address1_City = txtCity.Text;
                contactRecord.Address1_StateOrProvince = txtProvince.Text;
                contactRecord.Address1_Country = txtCountry.Text;
                contactRecord.Address1_PostalCode = txtPostalCode.Text;

                _context.AddToContactSet(contactRecord);
                _context.BeginSaveChanges(OnCreateCustomerComplete, contactRecord);
            }
            catch (SystemException se)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(se.Message);
            }
        }

        private void OnCreateCustomerComplete(IAsyncResult result)
        {
            try
            {
                _context.EndSaveChanges(result);
                Contact contactRecord = result.AsyncState as Contact;

                txtStatus.Text = "Customer " + contactRecord.FullName + " has been created...";
            }
            catch (SystemException se)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(se.Message);
            }
        }

Hope it helps!

_context.AddToContactSet(contactRecord);

_context.BeginSaveChanges(OnCreateCustomerComplete, contactRecord);

error at above lines.I have added a ServiceUtility.cs file and SilverlightExtensionMethods.cs again it is showing that context doesn't contain a method AddToContactSet(contactRecord);.

BeginSaveChanges(OnCreateCustomerComplete, contactRecord);.......And i am going to change it to Html5.

Thank You Aileen Gusni for you patience.

What context did you use.

You should generate an early bound library, in this case service reference

So that, see this link in the CSDL section:
