You need to specify file name and then first read it's content in a string and then execute CommandText command.

PS: this will work as long you don't have GO statement in your sql script.

Since SQL Server 2005, one can use smo library to do this operation and not use batch command and osql connection as previously. Here is how to do it:

C#

using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo;
 
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string sqlConnectionString = "Data Source=(local);
                 Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Integrated Security=True";
            FileInfo file = new FileInfo("C:\\myscript.sql"); 
            string script = file.OpenText().ReadToEnd(); 
            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(sqlConnectionString); 
            Server server = new Server(new ServerConnection(conn)); 
            server.ConnectionContext.ExecuteNonQuery(script);
        }
    }
}
