Is it still usual to say "how do you do" instead of "nice to meet you" in formal occasions or it's plain old-fashioned?

Any thoughts/examples/explanation? The book doesn't say a word about
it.
edit: (Just realised I made a mistake, hehe)
if you say "how do you do?" that calls for a punch in the nuts. Say "whats' up?" or "Waasssss sappening!!!"
