A method for loading a plurality of dynamically linked assemblies during the execution of an application program is disclosed. The application program reads a configuration file that includes a load sequence for the plurality of dynamically linked assemblies and a class associated with each dynamically linked assembly. The plurality of dynamically linked assemblies are loaded in accordance with the load sequence read from the configuration file. Each class has a common dataset and each of the plurality of dynamically linked assemblies is independent from the other of the plurality of dynamically linked assemblies. A process request defined by the associated class is sent to at least a first of the plurality of dynamically linked assemblies.

Loading a chain of processors from an XML file

A globalization component including a base class NewResourceManager that provides a layer of abstraction from the Microsoft Resource Manager and a new WinForm class that inherits from the .NET Windows Form and utilizes NewResourceManager. The globalization component uses culture information and resource folder information from the registry to set a culture-specific resource folder and file. Decoupled assembly culture-specific resource files include all string resources in the target language and can be stored in any folder. New culture-specific resource files are easily generated without having to recompile the assembly or any satellite assemblies and without having to modify any configuration files. The NewWinForm class can also iterate through all controls on the form and if values are missing from an associated resource file, the resource manager will save the missing controls to a text file. Translators need only receive this text file to translate from one human language to another.

A method of partitioning and archiving electrical data received from a power monitoring system in a database including a plurality of tables organized by at least group and date. Data in the database is queried by first searching an electrical data catalog to determine whether the data exists in the database before searching the database. The data is targeted by group and by date, yielding faster response times and enhanced database scalability. An electrical data retention table includes a set of rules governing, for each group, the maximum age of the data that can be stored in the table in the database. A data table associated with a particular group whose age exceeds the maximum age provided in the set of rules is removed from the database and from the electrical data catalog. If desired, the entire data table can be imported back into the database.
