What's the problem? This is done in the same way as any other ContentControl.

I have a Datagrid with two columns. First one is DatagridComboboxColumn and the second one is DatagridTemplateColumn. Based on the first column cell selectedItem, I have to bind controls(it may be Label/textbox/combobox) in second column cell. I tried with frameworkelementfactory as below.

FrameworkElementFactory textFactory = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(StackPanel));
FrameworkElementFactory editView = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(Label));
editView.SetValue(Label.ContentProperty, "Do Nothing");
textFactory.AppendChild(editView);
DgTemplateColumn.CellTemplate = new DataTemplate(typeof(DataGridCell)) { VisualTree = textFactory };

With this code Label is getting displayed for the whole column. I want to show this in the corresponding cell.

I answered in Solution 1. Isn't it clear enough?

myCell.Content = myGrid;
or
myCell.Content = myButton;
// ... :-)

Please see my comment to the question. This is how: ContentControl.Content Property (System.Windows.Controls)[^].

You should understand that System.Windows.Controls.DataGridCell is System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl.

At this point, the solution should be pretty obvious to you, but if it's not quite clear yet, it means that you have to learn WPF content model better: WPF Content Model[^].
