How can I get the id and value of an item using Selenium?

I am trying to retrieve for each question i want to answer I want to know the ID and the value.

I have written the following code but I dont know how to finish it so that it gives me the ID and the value:

    private IWebElement GetAnswerElement(int questionNumber, int answerNumber)
    {
        return BrowserFactory.Driver.FindElement(By.XPath(String.Format("//div[@id = 'client-assessment']/div/div/label", questionNumber, answerNumber)));
    }

The code looks like this:

<div id="client-assessment" style="overflow: hidden;">
    <div class="question">
        <label class="question">
            Here is my question1
        </label>
        <div class="radio">
            <label>
                <input id="xxx" name="xxx" onchange="UpdateAssessment()" 
        </div>

code continues with more questions

Hope someone can help me out.

If you want to get the id and value attribute of the input element you can do the following.

private IWebElement GetAnswerElement()
{
    var xpath = "//div[@id='client-assessment']/div/div/label/input";
    return BrowserFactory.Driver.FindElement(By.XPath(xpath));
}

var element = GetAnswerElement()
var id = element.GetAttribute("id");
var value = element.GetAttribute("value");

Note that I've changed the xpath that it selects the input element.

If you directly want to use xpath to check for the two attributes you can do the following.

private IWebElement GetAnswerElement(string questionText, string answerText)
{
    var xpath = String.Format(
                    "//div[@id='client-assessment']/div/div/label/input[@id='{0}'][@value='{1}']", 
                    questionText, 
                    answerText);
    return BrowserFactory.Driver.FindElement(By.XPath(xpath));
}

var element = GetAnswerElement(
                  "Product_Contractor_ClientAssessment_Question06",
                  "Answer1");

Or if you only want to check for the number at the end of the string.

private IWebElement GetAnswerElement(int questionNumber, int answerNumber)
{
    var xpath = String.Format(
                    "//div[@id='client-assessment']/div/div/label/input[ends-with(@id, '{0}')][ends-with(@value, '{1}')]", 
                    questionNumber.ToString("00"), 
                    answerNumber.ToString("0"));
    return BrowserFactory.Driver.FindElement(By.XPath(xpath));
}

var element = GetAnswerElement(6, 1);

Note that I format the questionNumber value with 00. I do this to prevent the number 66 from beeing matched when 6 is given.
