Update ListItem from Client Objectmodel without changing the version

Question

Is it possible to update the Created/Modified fields using the Sharepoint Client ObjectModel without updating the version?

var file = _ClientContext.Web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(serverRelativeUrl);
_ClientContext.Load(file);
_ClientContext.ExecuteQuery();
ListItem listItem = file.ListItemAllFields;
listItem["Created"] = info.SourceFile.CreationTime;
listItem["Modified"] = info.SourceFile.LastWriteTime;
MapMembers(listItem, info.MetaData);
listItem.Update();

listItem.SystemUpdate / Update(false) is not available in the Client ObjectModel.

Thanks

Have you been able to resolve this issue? I'm having the same problem here and I'd really much like to know if there is a way to do that. — Carl, Sep 21 '12 at 19:25

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File lp_newFile = lp_web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(lp_uri.LocalPath);
lp_context.Load(lp_newFile);
lp_context.ExecuteQuery();

//check out to make sure not to create multiple versions
lp_newFile.CheckOut();

ListItem lp_item = lp_newFile.ListItemAllFields;
listItem["Created"] = info.SourceFile.CreationTime;
listItem["Modified"] = info.SourceFile.LastWriteTime;
listItem.Update();

// use OverwriteCheckIn type to make sure not to create multiple versions 
lp_newFile.CheckIn(string.Empty, CheckinType.OverwriteCheckIn);
