You haven't shown the code where you are trying to use ExecutenonQuery. Note that you should use parameters.

using(var con = new SqlConnection(conString))
using(var cmd = new SqlCommand("storedProcedureName", con))
{
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
    cmd.Parameters.Add("@text", SqlDbType.NVarChar, -1);
    cmd.Parameters["@text"].Value = yourVeryLongText;
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
