I have a new task. Looks like I need to migrate my web application from VS 2017 - 2019. My manager said "update the Solution builder to work with VS2019". That is what i thought. If it is, please explain me what I need to do to migrate
a web application to VS 2019. What are the steps involved? Please suggest me.

All I did was point VS2019 to the VS2017 solution, did build and fired it up.
If you find the post has answered your issue, then please mark post as 'answered'.
As pointed already note the difference between upgrading the "tools" used to design/build/test your app and the "platform" used by your app itself at runtime.
This one is for VS extensions. If going back at the beginning what is this "Solution builder" you are talking about. This is a product found at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/ and which doesn't work
with VS 2019?
IMO if something is unclear just talk with him again to be 100% sure about the objective. It is always better to talk rather than to keep having some kind of misunderstanding which doesn't help anyone...

Visual Studio is an editor. There's no migration. Just open the solution in VS 2019 and start working.
Maybe you manager wants you to migrate to a newer version of ASP.NET like ASP.NET Core?

Do you mean something like tis?
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/how-to-upgrade-extensions-to-support-visual-studio-2019/
Thanks PatriceSC. I am looking into the posts from you and DA924. When I asked him for clarifications on the same over a chat, He replied :
Either create a new plug in and copy in the WPF windows and code use MSDN to get current code working in 2019.
and also "update the Solution builder to work with VS2019 "
But I will start with these updates first</div>
