Visual Studio - how to find source of heap corruption errors

I wonder if there is a good way to find the source code that causes a heap corruption error, given the memory address of the data that was written 'outside' the allocated heap block in Visual Studio;

Dedicated (0008) free list element 26F7F670 is wrong size (dead)

(Trying to write down some notes on how to find memory errors)

It's probably too late but if it compiles with gcc and can run on linux you may use valgrind to find the source of the problem (i don't remember the flags, i only used it once with great success).
