VSTS - build definition error in solution file

This is probably something simple that I am doing wrong as I am new to VSTS.

I have uploaded my existing .NET website project to VSTS and when I run a build definition in VSTS, I get an error in the solution file.

I can see what the problem is....the solution file has the pathway of the project on my PC in it...which is stored in inetpub/wwwroot/VSProjects on my PC.

Is there something simple I am missing to avoid this? There is probably a certain way that a .net website should be uploaded to vsts to avoid this pathway error?

Thanks for any help...

Here are the build solution log errors -

In VS Build task, you should specify the publishproj file instead of sln in Solution option of the VS Build task for your website project.

You can specify the detail relative path for the publishproj file or use wildcards to match the website project you want to build as below examples:
