what you could do give wait for the element or check if it is inside any `frame`? — KunduK, Feb 22 '19 at 13:38
@KajalKundu - no iframe. i have edited for exception details — DevT, Feb 22 '19 at 13:47
Sometimes with sites there are two (or more) versions, e.g. desktop and mobile. Are you sure that the first element found is actually visible? Go into Chrome, open the dev tools, and type `$$("#ContentPlaceHolder1_QuetionListPlaceHolder_BigFiftyPersonalityQuestion1_BigFiftyPersonalityQuestionItem1221754_rdbListAnswers_2")`. Does it return 1 or more than 1? That's a CSS selector for an ID (`#`). — JeffC, Feb 22 '19 at 14:17

exception details : element not visible (Session info: chrome=72.0.3626.109) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.37.544315 (730aa6a5fdba159ac9f4c1e8cbc59bf1b5ce12b7),platform=Windows NT 10.0.10586 x86_64)

This shows that you are using older version of chromedriver=2.37.544315 which is not compatible with chrome version 72. You need to upgrade your chrome driver to become compatible.I believe this will resolve your problem.

Please see the following link.

Can you try to use visibilityOfElementLocated this to wait element before click

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
var clickableElement = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.XPath("//*[@id='ContentPlaceHolder1_QuetionListPlaceHolder_BigFiftyPersonalityQuestion1_BigFiftyPersonalityQuestionItem1221754_rdbListAnswers_0']")));

I was able to find out my problem. According to style classes radio button is disabled. therefore its always display false. I was able to click on radio button using click on the related label text. I did it as follows

 // get lable for selected radio button
IWebElement radioButtonSelectedLabel = CommonProperties.driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("label[for='ContentPlaceHolder1_QuetionListPlaceHolder_BigFiftyPersonalityQuestion1_BigFiftyPersonalityQuestionItem1221754_rdbListAnswers_0']"));
// click on the label
radioButtonSelectedLabel.ClickElement();

asp.net RadioButton is display false always for selenium
