Answer 1

TimeSpan is immutable, so you have to create a new one. This is also a perfect case for using extension methods in C#:

public static class TimeSpanUtility
{
   public static TimeSpan Round( this TimeSpan ts )
   {
       var sign = ts < TimeSpan.Zero ? -1 : 1;
       var roundBy = Math.Abs(ts.Minutes) >= 30 ? 1 : 0;
       return TimeSpan.FromHours( ts.TotalHours + (sign * roundBy) );
   }
}

// usage would be:
var someTimeSpan = new TimeSpan( 2, 45, 15 );
var roundedTime = someTimeSpan.Round();
