I found the code below while searching for an answer to this issue:

Pros: It's short and simple to understand and worked perfectly for my needs.

Cons: It is less efficient than Stream based solutions and is case sensitive (i.e "GO" not "go").

string[] commands = sql.Split(new string[]{"GO\r\n", "GO ", "GO\t"}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries );
foreach (string c in commands)
{
    var command = new SqlCommand(c, masterConnection);
    command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
