This is something I've never tested, but ADO should be able to handle multiple commands as a batch. It doesn't accept GO but it should accept semicolon. So basically if you convert GO's to semicolons it could work. You could try something like:

C#

string sql = @"SELECT 1 GO SELECT 2 GO SELECT 3 GO"; sql = sql.Replace(@" GO", ";");

This would most likely depend on the statements you're going to run, for example with procedure definitions including GO's could have problems.

[EDIT]
Sorry, just realized that this was VB, so something like:

VB

sql = "SELECT 1" + vbNewLine + _
      "GO" + vbNewLine + _
      "SELECT 2" + vbNewLine + _
      "GO" + vbNewLine + _
      "SELECT 3" + vbNewLine + _
      "GO".Replace(vbNewLine + "GO", ";")
sql = sql.Replace(vbNewLine + "GO", ";")
