Select Radio Buttons in Selenium Webdriver [C#]

Question

I have this HTML

<div class="Radio">
 <label>
  <input class id="checkbox" name="category" type="radio" value="1">
  <strong> TONY STARK </strong>
 </label>

 <label>
  <input class id="checkbox" name="category" type="radio" value="2">
  <strong> IRON MAN </strong>
 </label>

 <label>
  <input class id="checkbox" name="category" type="radio" value="3">
  <strong> ROBERT DOWNEY </strong>
 </label>

I need to select radio buttons based on TONY STARK , IRON MAN , ROBERT DOWNEY as the user passes it as a flexible parameter

I tried this, but any other easy way would definitely help me!

driver.FindElement(By.Id("checkbox"));
for(WebElement radiobutton: radiobuttons)
{ 
  if(radiobutton.getAttribute("value").equals("TONY STARK"))
  radiobutton.click();
}

You should try using Xpath to get single radio button and avoid looping as below :-

string Xpath = ".//input[following-sibling::strong[contains(.,'TONY STARK')]]";

Or

string Xpath = ".//label[contains(.,'TONY STARK')]/input";

Use any one of these Xpath to find radio button as :

var radio = driver.FindElement(By.Xpath(Xpath));
radio.Click();

You can use xpath to do that. Try the below xpath .//label[contains(text(),'TONY STARK')]/input[@id='checbox']

Create a class to wrap up radios from now on:

public class RadioButtons
{
    public RadioButtons(IWebDriver driver, ReadOnlyCollection<IWebElement> webElements)
    { 
        Driver = driver;
        WebElements = webElements;
    }

    protected IWebDriver Driver { get; }

    protected ReadOnlyCollection<IWebElement> WebElements { get; }

    public void SelectValue(String value)
    {
        WebElements.Single(we => we.GetAttribute("value") == value).Click();
    }
}

Then you can use it like this:

RadioButtons categories = new RadioButtons(Driver, driver.FindElements(By.Name("category")));

categories.SelectValue("TONY STARK");

I have this other solution:

public void RadioButtonClickByNameAndValue(string name, string val)
        {
            ScreenComponent.Wait.WaitVisibleElement(By.Name(name));
            ScreenComponent.Script.ExecuteJavaScriptCode($"$('[name={name}][value={val}]').click();");
        }

In another class I say what value I want to click and in another class I say what is the element.
in my case the radio options value are "True" and "False".

Identify a radio button using XPath with index

IWebElement radioButton = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[@type='radio'][1]");
radioButton.Click();

where:

Asterisk * means wildcard character.

[1] is the position of radio button options ("TONY STARK")
