Use a StringBuilder (System.Text.StringBuilder) to build your Sql, such as:

StringBuilder sql = new StringBuilder();
int batchSize = 10;
int currentBatchCount = 0;
SqlCommand cmd = null; // The SqlCommand object to use for executing the sql.
for(int i = 0; i < numberOfUpdatesToMake; i++)
{
  int sid = 0; // Set the s_id here
  int id = 0; // Set id here
  sql.AppendFormat("update mytable set s_id = {0} where id = {1}; ", sid, id);

  currentBatchCount++;
  if (currentBatchCount >= batchSize)
  {
    cmd.CommandText = sql.ToString();
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    sql = new StringBuilder();
    currentBatchCount = 0;
  }
}
