If you are a *"total newbie"* you should not be here, but [someplace with documentation](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970268.aspx). — H.B., Feb 07 '12 at 22:14
Abbas, I can highly recommend Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed by Adam Nathan. If you spent just 3-4 hours with that very simple, very well written book, you would be way past the need to ask questions like this. — Ed Bayiates, Feb 07 '12 at 22:21

Use radioButton1.IsChecked from the codebehind.

Changing `Name` to `x:Name` does just about nothing. – H.B. Feb 07 '12 at 22:20
Oh right, I always thought you needed to do x:Name to access from codebehind. – demoncodemonkey Feb 07 '12 at 22:21

You only need [`x:Name`](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752290.aspx) for non-`FrameworkElements` as they have no `Name` property. – H.B. Feb 07 '12 at 22:24
Interesting. Every day's a school day. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/589874/in-wpf-what-are-the-differences-between-the-xname-and-name-attributes – demoncodemonkey Feb 07 '12 at 22:26
