Basically, I am creating a button in an oval shape. But my button label is too long to display in one line, so I wanted to split it into multiple lines so that the oval button looks good.

How do I enable word wrap on a button?

If you want to set a button's label to multi-line text inside the VS designer, you can click on the "down arrow" at the right of the property field and then you are able to enter multiple lines of text.

VS text multiline property panel

I tried this in VS 2015.
