Generally your code looks good with one exception. It is good for CRM 4.0. In case you use CRM 2013 your code would not work. Recheck following articles regarding Creation of records in CRM: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334427.aspx
Provided link demonstrates how to create records using REST. In case you anyway want to use SOAP recheck following article: http://mileyja.blogspot.com/2011/04/create-requests-in-net-and-jscript-in.html
