Set RecordType on Contact ceation via Enterprise API

I have created a C# project, connect Salesforce Enterprise WSDL as WebReference and trying to create the Contact
  
var recordTypes = sforceService.query("select Id from RecordType where sObjectType = 'Contact'"); 
var contact = new Contact { 
  LastName = textTemplate, 
  RecordType = (RecordType)recordTypes.records[0], 
  Email = textTemplate + "@test.com", 
  Phone = "1234567890", 
}; 
res = sforceService.create(new sObject[] { contact });

And get an error: 
"Field name provided, Id is not an External ID or indexed field for RecordType"

How should I set RecordType in this case?

Hi algot,
Greetings to you!

- I implemented in my Org. Please use the below code[Solved] : -
  
var recType = sforce.connection.query("SELECT name,Id from RecordType where developername = 'Record_Type_Name'");
    alert(recType.records.Id);
    
    var taskToCreate  = new sforce.SObject("Contact");
    taskToCreate.LastName = "Test Js";
    taskToCreate.RecordTypeId = recType.records.Id;
    
    var result = sforce.connection.create([taskToCreate]);
    alert(result);
