The g stands for generated, VS generates the wiring up between the code and the Xaml in this partial class.

i stands for Intellisense.

Wiring up is done with somefile.g.cs file but not with somefile.g.i.cs file. When I commented all code in g.i.cs file still it is working fine. Then what's the actual use of g.i.cs file?

I guess when you recompiled your solution g.i.cs will be overwritten, did you check the file after recompiling?

what are the unused reference it has?

Yes, obviously it will overwrite after rebuilding the project. But if I comment the code and just run the project (which means only build is happening), everything is fine. I mean I dont see any issue. So what is the exact use of g.i.cs file?

These all are unused references:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Automation;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Controls.Primitives;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Ink;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Markup;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Media.Effects;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Media.Media3D;
using System.Windows.Media.TextFormatting;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using System.Windows.Shell;

I'm not sure you can removed this references. every time you recompile the solution it will re generate the file & the references will come.

I already answered this in the Silverlight/WPF forum. Please do not post the same question in multiple places.
