Convert SPFieldType to Copy.asmx FieldType

Question

How do you convert a SPFieldType to a Copy.asmx FieldType?
I'm trying something like this, but with zero luck.
fieldInfo = new CopyWebServ.FieldInformation();
SPFieldType spType = item.Fields[sConfigField].Type;
fieldInfo.Type = spType;
Error:
Cannot implicitly convert type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldType' to 'projectName.CopyWebServ.FieldType'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Hi,
Please try to use the code line below:
fieldInfo.Type = (FieldType)spType;
If you want to use the Copy.asmx web service, we need to use FieldType Enumeration to set the FieldInformation.Type.

Here is an example for your reference:

If your code runs at in SharePoint server, I suggest you use Server Object Model to meet your requirement.
