Where did my background worker go?

[DeepThought]

He is not doing his job. I had some functions to run when my program is open and I noticed that the GUI was not coming up until the functions were completed.

So I looked up an example of how to fix it by using a background worker. So I followed the code exactly and all syntax checks out and my program opens nice and fast. However the functions are never executed

Here is the code:


public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();

BackgroundWorker OnLoad = new BackgroundWorker();

OnLoad.DoWork += (s, e) =>
{

updateListDatabases();

updateUserApps();

};

OnLoad.RunWorkerAsync();


}
