Answer 1

Here is what you can do. Though there are lot many ways to achieve it.

DateTime? d = null;    
if (txtBirthDate.Text == string.Empty)
    objinfo.BirthDate = d;
else
    objinfo.BirthDate =  DateTime.Parse(txtBirthDate.Text);

Note: This will work only if your database datetime column is Allow Null. Else you can define a standard minimum value for DateTime d.
