Compile Error: Field is not writeable: Contact.Name at line

Hi All,

 

I got the following error

Compile Error: Field is not writeable: Contact.Name at line 66.....

Following is the code snippet

 

 

global class clsCustomWebService_MergeStdObject {

...................

...............

    webService static String mergeContactStdObj (String MasterId, String Slave1Id, String Slave2Id)
    {


        ..........//This statement works

        List<Account> ls = new List<Account>{new Account(name='Acme Inc.'),new Account(name='Acme')};
insert ls;


        ................................


        ...............//This line generate the error

        List<Contact> ls = new List<Contact>{new Contact(name='Classic Inc.'),new Contact(name='Classic')};
insert ls;



    ......................

    }

.........................

}

 

The same fails for Lead too.

What I want to achieve is run the code example as given in the below mentioned link for Account, Lead and Contact.

Following is the ref documentation link

Thanks

i wonder how this line works fine

 

 

   List<Account> ls = new List<Contact>{new Contact(name='Acme Inc.'),new Contact(name='Acme')};

 the mistake is right there how can make a list of account and instantiate contact. comment this line and run.

Sorry, my mistake. I have corrected the statement. The Account object is accessible but Lead and Contact are not.
