As far as I know, JQuantLib doesn't support discrete dividends for American Options.

Does the C# version support discrete dividends for American Options?

If you mean American equity options, there's no trinomial-tree
implementation.  Pricing using binomial trees, however, is shown in
Examples/EquityOption.  The latter is also available in C# if you
download the QuantLib-SWIG bindings too.
