What's the difference between EscapeUriString and EscapeDataString?

Question

If only deal with url encoding, I should use EscapeUriString?

Answer 1

A simple example

var data = "example.com/abc?DEF=あいう\x20えお";

Console.WriteLine(Uri.EscapeUriString(data));
Console.WriteLine(Uri.EscapeDataString(data));
Console.WriteLine(System.Net.WebUtility.UrlEncode(data));
Console.WriteLine(System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(data));

/*
=>
example.com/abc?DEF=%E3%81%82%E3%81%84%E3%81%86%20%E3%81%88%E3%81%8A
