title: How to Create a PagedList from a VarChar(MAX) field
body: <p>I have a database table with a VARCHAR(MAX) field and I would like to be able to paginate that data in an MVC view using a PagedList, I would like paginate at x chars. I am guessing that it is not going to be pretty to do this. My model returns MasterId int, contentData VarChar(MAX), and some other fields. 
  I would like to know how I can transform the varchar(max) field into several pages (there is a page Break symbol in the data). </p>
  
  <p>I am thinking since my model only contains a contentData that trying to use PagedList might not work .</p>
  
  <p>Should I even attempt this?
  Should I simply bite the bullet and just redesign the database table and then the associated CRUD code ?</p>
  
  <p>I am thinking I will probably end up doing the latter option - unless someone points me into a nice way to do it as it exists.</p>
