        //Link list for store user names 
        List<String> User_Names = new List<String>();

        int count = 0;

        foreach (SearchResult result in resultCol)
        {
            User_Names.Add(result.Properties["CN"][0].ToString());
            count = count + 1;
        }

        //can print all user names by using for loop or while loop 

        Label2.Text = RadioButtonList1.SelectedItem.Text;

Here’s a little something to get you started. It’s a skeleton for a .NET web part class that includes a data-bound RadioButtonList. To get it deployed to SharePoint, you will also need to roll together a proper .webpart manifest. There are lots of examples of these on the web, and Visual Studio 2010 projects for SharePoint 2010 make it super easy with the Visual Web Part template. (Note that if you are using the Visual Web Part template, then you can write up the web part with an .ascx file like you would any other user control, instead of using CreateChildControls() as I do below.)

Good luck!

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

/// <summary>
/// This web part provides redirection logic to a page.
/// </summary>
public class RedirectWebPart : System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Creates the child controls.
    /// </summary>
    protected override void CreateChildControls()
    {
        base.CreateChildControls();
        RadioButtonList list = new RadioButtonList();
        Controls.Add(list);

        list.AutoPostBack = true;
        list.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(this.OnSelectedNameChanged);

        // On the next line, ADUtility.GetActiveDirectoryNames() is a dummy
        // class and method that you should replace with your AD query logic.
        // It just needs to return an enumerable collection of strings.
        list.DataSource = ADUtility.GetActiveDirectoryNames();
        list.DataBind();
    }

    protected void OnSelectedNameChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Your event-handling logic.
    }
}
