odd SqlInfoMessageEventHandler problem (source code provided)

Hi
I'm trying to get the InfoMessage code below working. What I'm
finding is that the print statements have to be before the select
statement, which kind of defies the point in my scenario.
e.g. here the event will fire for 'hi mum' but not for 'hi again'
What am I doing wrong here?

thanks


<add name="Northwind"
connectionString="Integrated
Security=SSPI;database=Northwind;server=localhost; Connect Timeout=30;
Persist Security Info=False"
/>



private void ShowPrintStatements()
{
DbProviderFactory factory = SqlClientFactory.Instance;

ConnectionStringSettings settings =
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Northwind"];
string theConnectionString = settings.ConnectionString;

DbConnection connection = factory.CreateConnection();
if (connection is SqlConnection)
{
((SqlConnection)connection).InfoMessage += new
SqlInfoMessageEventHandler(Chapter4_InfoMessage);
}

connection.ConnectionString = theConnectionString;
connection.Open();

DbCommand command = factory.CreateCommand();
command.Connection = connection; command.CommandType =
CommandType.Text;
command.CommandText = "print 'hi mum';select 1 as somecolumn;print
'hi again'";
DbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();

reader.Close();
}

void Chapter4_InfoMessage(object sender, SqlInfoMessageEventArgs e)
{
string message = e.Message;
}

properly, you should always iterate over .NextResult until returns NULL,
to be sure that you get all results and messages.
