How to use Omnisharp Server to compile project asynchronously in a VS Code extension?

Question

I need to compile c# projects from my VS Code extension and extract the emitted binary file. I have found that C# extension install and uses the Omnisharp server for compilation. Is there a way to tap in to the same Omnisharp server to trigger compilation from my VS Code extension?

Thanks in advance.
