how i add new full contact to WP with C# code?

Someone asked on Stack Overflow:

I want to add new contact to WP’s contact list with C# code. but not with SaveContactTask or SavePhoneNumberTask or etc.

I want to add advanced contact to WP contact database. How can I get access to Contact Database of Windows Phone to save my contact data ?

I posted the following answer, which was chosen as the accepted answer and received 3 upvotes:

The only way this is possible is through the SaveContactTask. Windows Phone limits applications access to many of the functions of the underlying OS’s data.
