Works in Query Analyzer, why not in SqlCommand.ExecuteQuery() ?

Here is the code:

SqlCommand nonQuery = myConnection.CreateCommand();
nonQuery.CommandText = command.Command;
result.Returned = nonQuery.ExecuteNonQuery(); /// exception occurs here
result.Success = true;

The command property of the command object (which is one of my custom
objects) is this:

USE Master
GO
CREATE DATABASE CynoNUnitTestDB
GO
USE CynoNUnitTestDB
GO
CREATE TABLE CynoUser........ (the rest is omitted for the sake of brevity)

I get the following exception:

Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'GO'.
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'GO'.
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'CynoNUnitTestDB'. No
entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.

The connection string is this: Data Source=JAX;Initial
Catalog=Master;Integrated Security=SSPI;


Why is this a-ok with Query Analyzer but no good with the SqlCommand object?

Please assist.

Kind Regards

Jax
 
From books online:

GO is not a Transact-SQL statement; it is a command recognized by the osql
and isql utilities and SQL Query Analyzer.

SQL Server utilities interpret GO as a signal that they should send the
current batch of Transact-SQL statements to SQL Server. The current batch of
statements is composed of all statements entered since the last GO, or since
the start of the ad hoc session or script if this is the first GO. SQL Query
Analyzer and the osql and isql command prompt utilities implement GO
differently. For more information, see osql Utility, isql Utility, and SQL
Query Analyzer.



In short "Go" is invalid in ADO.Net.

possible work around, stored procedure, passing in what you want it to do.

another possible workaround, multiple calls to ExecuteNonQuery

Ahhhh, I now see.
Thank you very much. I have now split the commands up and it works fine now.
Problem solved! :)
 
Sql Server doesn't know what "GO" is.
QueryAnalyzer parses the input text and sends sections between "GO" as a
separate command.
