Yes.  Within that block (ie, within the class), you want to add a
constructor.  If this term is new to you you'll want to find a book or
tutorial on C#, but basically it's a method called when your class
(your window in this case) is first created, and it usually looks like
this:

public MainWindow ()
{
   // Do initialization stuff here
}

Hope this helps,
