How to convert date from string to DateTime ?

I want to convert this date format (string) to DateTime in order to get the dayoftheweek() and hour(). I saw that there is a convert function, but I don't understand how to use it. Can you help me?

string dateTime_str = "15.03.2019 09:37";

DateTime DT = convert(dateTime_str, DATETIME_STR,FS_DATETIME);

return DT;

Try this:

string dateTime_str = "15.03.2019 09:37";
DateTime dt=DateTime(dateTime_str,"%d.%m.%Y %H:%M");
return [dt.dayOfWeek,dt.hour];

The datetime constructor is documented here.
