## Remarks
  
This method should be called from the [LoadFrameParameters()](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Codecs_CustomFormatReader_LoadFrameParameters.htm.md).
 
Use protected thread-unsafe versions of **xxxTU** properties instead of the public ones (without **TU** postfix) inside of the code of your custom codec. You should use to avoid deadlocks during multithreaded calls.
