From csharpcorner:


"Radio buttons are usually placed in a group on a container control, such as a Panel or a GroupBox, and one of them is selected."

In order to act as a group Radio Buttons must be in a container - other than the form.

I'm not sure that will solve the select issue, but your Radio Buttons won't work as a group without the container.
