Answer 1

As others have mentioned, the "GO" command is simply a batch separator which is interpreted by SSMS. What you want to do is create the stored procedure as follows:

string sql = string.Format("CREATE PROCEDURE [{0}]..[spInsertADAuthorization] @AD_Account varchar(255),@AD_SID varchar(255),@AD_EmailAddress varchar(255),@DateImported datetime,@Active bit AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; INSERT INTO AD_Authorization (AD_Account, AD_SID, AD_EmailAddress, DateImported, Active) VALUES (@AD_Account,@AD_SID,@AD_EmailAddress,@DateImported,@Active) END", txtDBName.Text);

using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, connection))
    {
        connection.Open();
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        connection.Close();
    }
}

Answer 2

"GO" is a batch separator. It's not a T-SQL Statement. Remove the "USE" and both "GO" lines and try again.

Answer 3

Instead of using 'USE [DataBase] Go' you can set or change the current database for an open SqlConnection very easily:

connection.ChangeDatabase("YourDB");

An example:

private static void ConctDatabase(string connectionString)
{
    using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
    {
        conn.Open();
        MessageBox.Show("Database: {0}", conn.Database);
        conn.ChangeDatabase("Northwind");
        MessageBox.Show("Database: {0}", conn.Database);
    }
}

If you're looking at creating a Database and maintaining versions in your code, you might want to consider using something like the Migrator Framework instead of hand writing all that SQL.
