Create contactorders in MS CRM 4.0 through the SDK

Question

I'm using .NET and the CRM SDK to manage salesorders in CRM. However, I want to be able to add contacts to salesorder. This should be possible using records in the intersect table contactorders. What is the procedure for adding contactorders? I tried creating a Dynamic Entity of the contactorder type, but I get the error that Create doesn't support contactorders.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks!
