# Using Enums and String Constants

Enum values must be prefixed with the name of the enum, for example:

    myXSIApp.LogMessage( "Hello, World!", siSeverityType.siWarning );

String constant values must be prefixed with "StringModule", for example:

    myXSIApp.LogMessage( myObj.BelongsTo(StringModule.siMeshFamily) );

To find the name of a module for a given enum or constant

- Type the name of the enum value into the Index keyword box in the SDK Documentation (Help SDK Guides in Softimage).

  Tip

  Each enum and constant page also provides the full name of each value for C# at the top of the page.
