Declare the variable and objects ,

private DataTable dtTemp = new DataTable();
private Label lbl = new Label();
DataGridTableStyle dgStyle = new DataGridTableStyle();
DataGridTextBoxColumn dgLabel = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();

Add the code in form load and bind the data.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    //label property
    lbl.ForeColor = Color.Black;
    lbl.Font = new Font("TimesRoman", 12, FontStyle.Bold);
    dgStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(dgLabel);
    dgLabel.HeaderText = "Label Column";
    dgLabel.MappingName = "Name";
    dgLabel.Width = 200;
    dgStyle.PreferredRowHeight = 24;
    dg .TableStyles.Add(dgStyle);
    //Create temp datatable for bind values
    DataTable dtTemp = new DataTable(); DataRow dr;
    //create schema
    dtTemp.Columns.Add("Name"); dtTemp.Columns.Add("City");
    dtTemp.Columns.Add("State");
    //Add temp datas
    dr = dtTemp.NewRow(); dr["Name"] = "AAA"; dr["City"] = "CAAA"; dr["State"] = "SAAA"; dtTemp.Rows.Add(dr);
    dr = dtTemp.NewRow(); dr["Name"] = "BBB"; dr["City"] = "CBBB"; dr["State"] = "SBBB"; dtTemp.Rows.Add(dr);
    dr = dtTemp.NewRow(); dr["Name"] = "CCC"; dr["City"] = "CCCC"; dr["State"] = "SCCC"; dtTemp.Rows.Add(dr);
    dr = dtTemp.NewRow(); dr["Name"] = "DDD"; dr["City"] = "CDDD"; dr["State"] = "SDDD"; dtTemp.Rows.Add(dr);
    dr = dtTemp.NewRow(); dr["Name"] = "EEE"; dr["City"] = "CEEE"; dr["State"] = "SEEE"; dtTemp.Rows.Add(dr);
    //Bind the datasourse
    dg .DataSource = dtTemp;
}

When datagrid mouse up event will occurs, we will bind the label.

private void dg_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if(dg.HitTest(e.X, e.Y) != null)
    {
          if(dg.HitTest(e.X, e.Y).Column == 0)
          {
               dgLabel.TextBox.Controls.Add(lbl);
               lbl.Text = "Hi Label " + dg[dg.CurrentRowIndex, 0].ToString();
          }
    }
}

Conclusion:

Through the help of this articles you can add any controls like TextBox, ComboBox, RadioButton, button etc. in a DataGrid cell.
