Difficulty Executing "Execute" Query From C#

I have this query that runs on our SQLServer that hosts a vendor's application.

exec sp_configure 'show advanced options',1 RECONFIGURE exec sp_configure 'Ole Automation Procedures', 1 RECONFIGURE exec sp_configure 'show advanced options', 0 RECONFIGURE exec CreateMunisExportFile exec sp_configure 'show advanced options',1 RECONFIGURE exec sp_configure 'Ole Automation Procedures', 0 RECONFIGURE exec sp_configure 'show advanced options', 0 RECONFIGURE 

I want to execute it remotely using C#.

I am using Visual Studio 2015, but cannot find access to the SQLServer modules that allow you to create a Server object. I lost the link of that post, but have also been looking at the following and other posts in SO, this-post, and that-post.

I am getting -1 from ExecuteNonQuery in the following function, and want to know how I can get further error information.

 private void btRunQuery_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { using (var conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=SERVER\\TICKETTRAK;Initial Catalog=TTRAK9.4.20;User Id=sa;Password=xxxyyyyz;Pooling=false")) { string script = File.ReadAllText(@".\SpecialTickeTrakExport_20181106.sql"); using (SqlCommand mySqlCmd = new SqlCommand(script)) { conn.Open(); mySqlCmd.Connection = conn; var result = mySqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); conn.Close(); } } }
