How to load custom views in .NET MAUI DataGrid (SfDataGrid) cells?

The .NET MAUI DataGrid enables hosting of one or more views within a cell by configuring the DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate property of DataGridTemplateColumn.

Please refer to the code example below, where both an Image and a Label are loaded inside the CellTemplate of DataGridTemplateColumn. It’s important to note that the underlying data object serves as the binding context for both the Image and Label within the CellTemplate.

Xaml:

<syncfusion:SfDataGrid ColumnWidthMode="Auto"
                      SortingMode="Single"
                      ItemsSource="{Binding Employees}">
   <syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>
       <syncfusion:DataGridTemplateColumn MappingName="EmployeeID"
                                          Width="150"
                                          HeaderText="Employee ID">
           <syncfusion:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
               <DataTemplate>
                   <StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
                       <Image Source="dotnet_bot.png" />
                       <Label Text="{Binding EmployeeID}"
                              VerticalOptions="Center" />
                   </StackLayout>
               </DataTemplate>
           </syncfusion:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
       </syncfusion:DataGridTemplateColumn>
   </syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>
</syncfusion:SfDataGrid>

Executing the code example above yields the following output.
