Added additional improvements to surajits answer:

using System;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common;
using System.IO;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

namespace MyNamespace
{
    public partial class RunSqlScript : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var connectionString = @"your-connection-string";
            var pathToScriptFile = Server.MapPath("~/sql-scripts/") + "sql-script.sql";
            var sqlScript = File.ReadAllText(pathToScriptFile);

            using (var connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
            {
                var server = new Server(new ServerConnection(connection));
                server.ConnectionContext.ExecuteNonQuery(sqlScript);
            }
        }
    }
}

Also, I had to add the following references to my project:

• C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\SDK\Assemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll
• C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\SDK\Assemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll

I have no idea if those are the right dll:s to use since there are several folders in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server but in my application these two work.
