Answer 1

I tried this solution with Microsoft.SqlServer.Management but it didn't work well with .NET 4.0 so I wrote another solution using .NET libs framework only.

string script = File.ReadAllText(@"E:\someSqlScript.sql");

// split script on GO command
IEnumerable commandStrings = Regex.Split(script, @"^\s*GO\s*$", RegexOptions.Multiline | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

Connection.Open();
foreach (string commandString in commandStrings)
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(commandString.Trim()))
    {
        using(var command = new SqlCommand(commandString, Connection))
        {
            command.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }
    }
}     
Connection.Close();
