There isn't much to go on since you didn't add any sample code.. Try something like this

<ContentControl>
    <ContentControl.ContentTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <DataTemplate.Resources>
                <DataTemplate x:Key="dataTemplate1">
                    <TextBlock Text="Template 1"/>
                </DataTemplate>
                <DataTemplate x:Key="dataTemplate2">
                    <TextBlock Text="Template 2"/>
                </DataTemplate>
            </DataTemplate.Resources>
            <StackPanel>
                <Frame x:Name="frame1"
                        Height="100"
                        ContentTemplate="{StaticResource dataTemplate1}"/>
                <RadioButton x:Name="template1RadioButton" IsChecked="True" Content="Template 1"/>
                <RadioButton x:Name="template2RadioButton" Content="Template 2"/>
            </StackPanel>
            <DataTemplate.Triggers>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=template2RadioButton, Path=IsChecked}" Value="True">
                    <Setter TargetName="frame1" Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource dataTemplate2}"/>
                </DataTrigger>
            </DataTemplate.Triggers>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ContentControl.ContentTemplate>
</ContentControl>

You can use the Triggers of Radio Button like

 <RadioButton.Triggers>
  <Trigger Property="RadioButton.IsChecked" Value="True">
           //enter your xaml  here..     
  </Trigger>
 </RadioButton.Triggers>

You can see more information about Triggers on this blog Triggers

`RadionButton.Triggers` only supports EventTriggers – Fredrik Hedblad Aug 24 '11 at 07:51
That code throw exception. Triggers collection need EventTrigger items. – lce Aug 24 '11 at 08:14
