1 additional point to "iamkrillin"'s answer, for using the old DLLs to make it work.

after adding the references to these DLLs

Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll , Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.dll Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll , Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll

from a place like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\130\SDK\Assemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll" to the project, I needed to add the following "using" directives to the top of my code file:

using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common;

....
string query = @" //sql multi-command text here"

using (SqlConnection thisconn = new SqlConnection(connectionString)) {
    Server db = new Server(new ServerConnection(thisconn));
    db.ConnectionContext.ExecuteNonQuery(query);
}
