You can do some grouping in Linq like this:

var items = from r in rows
            group r by r.ID into g
            select new { Count = g.Count(), First = g.First() };

... but that'll give you a collection of objects with a "Count" property (int) and a "First" property (of the same type as your rows).

What you might want to do is select something that's shaped similarly to your row, except with a count property. One way to do that is field by field like this:

var items = from r in rows
            group r by r.ID into g
            let f = g.First()
            select new 
            {
               f.ID, f.Name, f.Foo, f.Bar, // etc
               Count = g.Count()
            };
