Page break after each record changes in specific row C#

Experts,

Is it possible to have the page break after every records changes in the rows while printing gridview using C#.

please advise..

tried,

protected void Print(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridView2.UseAccessibleHeader = true;
GridView2.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader;
GridView2.FooterRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableFooter;
GridView2.Attributes["style"] = "border-collapse:separate";
string preffered_name = "";
foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView2.Rows)
{
String grid_dept = row.Cells[2].Text;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(preffered_name))
preffered_name = grid_dept;
if (preffered_name != grid_dept)
{
row.Attributes["style"] = "page-break-after:always;";
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
GridView2.RenderControl(hw);
string gridHTML = sw.ToString().Replace("\"", "'").Replace(System.Environment.NewLine, "");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append("<script type = 'text/javascript'>");
sb.Append("window.onload = new function(){");
sb.Append("var printWin = window.open('', '', 'left=0");
sb.Append(",top=0,width=3000,height=600,status=0');");
sb.Append("printWin.document.write(\"");
string style = "thead {display:table-header-group;} tfoot{display:table-footer-group;}";
sb.Append(style + gridHTML);
sb.Append("\");");
sb.Append("printWin.document.close();");
sb.Append("printWin.focus();");
sb.Append("printWin.print();");
sb.Append("printWin.close();");
sb.Append("};");
sb.Append("</script>");
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "GridPrint", sb.ToString());
// GridView2.DataBind();preffered_name
preffered_name = grid_dept;
}
}
}
int tempcounter = 0;
protected void GridView2_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
tempcounter = tempcounter + 1;
if (tempcounter == 10)
{
e.Row.Attributes.Add("style", "page-break-after: always;");
tempcounter = 0;
}
}
}
public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control)
{
/* Verifies that the control is rendered */
}
