How is this achieved? Here it says the java version is:

WebDriver driver; // Assigned elsewhere
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("return document.title");

But I can't find the C# code to do this.

The object, method, and property names in the .NET language bindings do not exactly correspond to those in the Java bindings. One of the principles of the project is that each language binding should "feel natural" to those comfortable coding in that language. In C#, the code you'd want for executing JavaScript is as follows

IWebDriver driver; // assume assigned elsewhere
IJavaScriptExecutor js = (IJavaScriptExecutor)driver;
string title = (string)js.ExecuteScript("return document.title");

Note that the complete documentation of the WebDriver API for .NET can be found at this link.
