Every feature of IPFS is a property of the IpfsClient. The following example uses FileSystem to read a text file

using Ipfs.Http;

var ipfs = new IpfsClient();

const string filename = "QmXarR6rgkQ2fDSHjSY5nM2kuCXKYGViky5nohtwgF65Ec/about";
string text = await ipfs.FileSystem.ReadAllTextAsync(filename);
